But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaing the status quo. If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63749]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that's subtraction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57880]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that's subtraction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Woodrow Wilson, the apparent failure, belongs the undying honor, which will grow with the growing centuries, of having saved ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62236]]></link><description><![CDATA[To Woodrow Wilson, the apparent failure, belongs the undying honor, which will grow with the growing centuries, of having saved the "little child that shall lead them yet."

St. John of the Cross  December 15, 2000   Two thousand years of failure have not taught some reformers that you can't stop sin by declaring it illegal. Two thousand years have not taught them that you can't save a man's soul by force -- you can only lose your own in the attempt. Drunkenness and gambling and secularism and lechery -- various hopeful churchmen have earnestly tried to outlaw them all; and what is the result? A drunken nation, a gambling nation, a secularist nation, an adulterous nation.
