Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My dad was a Buick guy and I followed in his footsteps.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is singularly unequipped to beat these people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37557]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is singularly unequipped to beat these people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   Grace tried is better than grace, and it is more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6347]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   Grace tried is better than grace, and it is more than grace, it is glory in its infancy. I now see godliness is more than the outside and this world's passments and their buskings [i.e., ornaments and fine dress]. Who knoweth the truth of grace without a trial?
