That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself, and I only comment here that the terrifying risks that God takes are part of His Nature.

Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look back, and smile on perils past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look back, and smile on perils past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66881</guid></item></channel></rss>
