It is not enough for the Church to be engaged with the State in healing social ills, though this is important at times. But when the world can turn around and see a group of God's people exhibiting substantial healing in the area of human relationships in their present life, then the world will take notice. Each group of Christians is, as it were, a pilot plant, showing that something can be done in the present situation, if only we begin in the right way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The game was just lacking the intensity.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people walk into a modern home, they don't ask about a library. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35893]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people walk into a modern home, they don't ask about a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was nice for the girls to come back like that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37867]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was nice for the girls to come back like that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Purring would seem to be, in her case, an automatic safety-valve device for dealing with happiness overflow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Purring would seem to be, in her case, an automatic safety-valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12995]]></link><description><![CDATA[I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60302]]></link><description><![CDATA[The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that moral principles contradict the way things really are --- and always will be. How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me not, in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,and things are not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me not, in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,and things are not what they seem.Life is real!

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guns are neat little things, aren't they?
