All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our moral traditions developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our moral traditions developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a man who leaves the room when the fight starts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15652]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a man who leaves the room when the fight starts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hoy-day! What a sweep of vanity comes this way! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hoy-day! What a sweep of vanity comes this way!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive.

The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tears ready to do duty at a minute's notice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tears ready to do duty at a minute's notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest inventions were produced in the times of ignorance, as the use of the compass, gunpowder, and printing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19483]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest inventions were produced in the times of ignorance, as the use of the compass, gunpowder, and printing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19483</guid></item></channel></rss>
