S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was not a women likely to settle for equality when sex gave her an advantage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27176]]></link><description><![CDATA[She was not a women likely to settle for equality when sex gave her an advantage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12884]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the verb 'to Love,' 'to Help' is the most beautiful verb in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22148]]></link><description><![CDATA[After the verb 'to Love,' 'to Help' is the most beautiful verb in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All authority must be out of a man's self, turned . . . either upon an art, or upon a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3485]]></link><description><![CDATA[All authority must be out of a man's self, turned . . . either upon an art, or upon a man.   - Francis Bacon,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hats off to them, they've been a blessing for our team and our offense.

A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Job answered and said, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61745]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Job answered and said, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courtney's students, teachers and other students have signed up to volunteer to work the different shifts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courtney's students, teachers and other students have signed up to volunteer to work the different shifts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every tear has a smile behind it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every tear has a smile behind it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...there is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea.
