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 testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple.

I thought they'd be able to get any ol' pair of hands in there. But what most people don't realize is there's a brain that comes connected to these hands. You need to know the tricks of the trade.

The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to believe that the same God who permitted His own son to die a bachelor regards celibacy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27274]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to believe that the same God who permitted His own son to die a bachelor regards celibacy as an actual sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Eglantine Jebb, Social Reformer, Founder of 'Save the Children', 1928  The less you feel and the more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Eglantine Jebb, Social Reformer, Founder of 'Save the Children', 1928  The less you feel and the more firmly you believe, the more praiseworthy is your faith and the more it will be esteemed and appreciated; for real faith is much more than a mere opinion of man.
