"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wanted to let them know he was thinking of them and their families throughout this holiday, and the American ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28974]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wanted to let them know he was thinking of them and their families throughout this holiday, and the American people are behind them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Litigant: a person about to give up his skin for the hope of retaining his bone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Litigant: a person about to give up his skin for the hope of retaining his bone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  Irresponsible spending is the scandal of Christian America, in the face ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  Irresponsible spending is the scandal of Christian America, in the face of the world's need. The American standard of living has risen to unprecedented heights, although a large portion of the world exists on a sub-human level. Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood. Our stewardship of God's goods requires that we administer in God's name -- that is, with full awareness that the world is His and that His love is directed toward us no more fully than toward every man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think this stretch has been really important.
