But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments.

Sacrifice was then the only sufficient means of remaining in harmonious relation to God. No Hebrew dared neglect this obligation. It was adequate for the period in which God intended it should serve. This is not the same as saying, however, that Levitical sacrifice was on an equal with the sacrifice of Christ, nor that the blood of bulls and goats could, from God's side, take away sins; but it is recognizing the reality of the divine institution of Mosaic worship, and looking, as too often Old Testament interpreters fail to do, at sacrifice and priestly ritual from the viewpoint of the Hebrew in the Old Testament dispensation. Sacrifice, to the pious Hebrew, was not something insignificant, nor simply a perfunctory ritual, but it was an important element in his moral obedience to the revealed will of God. Sacrifice was by its very nature, which involved faith and repentance on the part of the worshiper and the putting to death of his substitute victim; intensely personal, ethical, moral, and spiritual, because it was intended to reflect the attitude of the heart and will toward God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has to be a certain amount of common sense.

When this particular neurosis becomes inconvenient to the government, what is to hinder the government from proceeding to 'cure' It? Such 'cure' will , of course, be compulsory; but under the humanitarian theory it will not be called by the shocking name of Persecution. No one will blame us for being Christians, no one will hate us, no one revile us. The new Nero will approach us with the silky manners of a doctor, and though all will be in fact {compulsory}, all will go on within the unemotional therapeutic sphere where words like 'right' and 'wrong' , or 'freedom' and 'slavery' are never heard. And thus when the command is given, every prominent Christian in the land may vanish overnight into Institutions for the Treatment of the Ideologically Unsound, and it will rest with the expert gaolers to when (if ever) they are to emerge. But it will not be persecution. Even if the treatment is painful, even if it is life-long, even if if it is fatal, that will be only a regrettable accident, the intention was purely therapeutic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sanity is very rare: every man almost, and every woman, has a dash of madness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sanity is very rare: every man almost, and every woman, has a dash of madness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893  Orthodoxy is, in the Church, very much what prejudice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893  Orthodoxy is, in the Church, very much what prejudice is in the single mind.
