Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one who pursues revenge should dig two graves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21376]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one who pursues revenge should dig two graves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every crisis offers you extra desired power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every crisis offers you extra desired power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It [Chinese Labour in South Africa] could not, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, be classified as slavery in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56581]]></link><description><![CDATA[It [Chinese Labour in South Africa] could not, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bed has become a place of luxury to me!

Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally.

But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57151]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let to-morrow take care of to-morrow, Leave things of the future to fate;  What's the use to anticipate sorrow? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let to-morrow take care of to-morrow, Leave things of the future to fate;  What's the use to anticipate sorrow?   Life's troubles come never too late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51565</guid></item></channel></rss>
