There is one Holy God, creator of heaven and earth. He is Lord of all life. To Him we are beholden for our life in all its meaning and its hope. Monotheism for the Christian means that anything else which is put in the place of our loyalty to God is an idol. The worship of national power, or racial prestige, or financial success, or cultural tradition, is a violation of the one truth about life, that all created things come from God. To commit life to the one true God is to refuse to have any other gods at all. Values there are in abundance, interests, plans, programs, loyalties to family and nation. But these are not gods; they do not save us; they are not holy in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill husbandry braggeth To go with the best:  Good husbandry baggeth   Up gold in his chest.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill husbandry braggeth To go with the best:  Good husbandry baggeth   Up gold in his chest.   - Thomas Tusser,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since every death diminishes us a little, we grieve - not so much for the death as for ourselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since every death diminishes us a little, we grieve - not so much for the death as for ourselves]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Performance stands out like a ton of diamonds.
