Yet, on the other hand, we deny, however they may be afflicted, that they ever fall and depart from that certain confidence which they have conceived in the divine mercy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to do the best we can.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12786]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were still 385 alcohol-related crashes this year and 418 deaths in those crashes... that's more than one a day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38591]]></link><description><![CDATA[There were still 385 alcohol-related crashes this year and 418 deaths in those crashes... that's more than one a day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22079]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have 25,000 messengers to send our message out like the school district has . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37886]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't have 25,000 messengers to send our message out like the school district has .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You make trade offs: do you want to get everything that's relevant or do you want to miss some things? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41803]]></link><description><![CDATA[You make trade offs: do you want to get everything that's relevant or do you want to miss some things?

The Christian's faith in Christ is trust in a Living Person, once crucified, dead, and buried, and now living forevermore. Call it, if you will, an assumption that ends as an assurance, or an experiment that ends as an experience, Christian faith is in fact a commitment that ends as a communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[full partnership ... through close coordination and consultation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36812]]></link><description><![CDATA[full partnership ... through close coordination and consultation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The umpires are closer than we are.
