He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's trying to figure out what those guys knew - and how she can get out of it, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32055]]></link><description><![CDATA[She's trying to figure out what those guys knew - and how she can get out of it,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are glimpses of heaven to us in every act, or thought, or word, that raises us above ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64359]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are glimpses of heaven to us in every act, or thought, or word, that raises us above ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hockey is a sport for white men.

In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence.

He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been a fabulous mission for planetary science, and it is hard to see it come to an end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31981]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been a fabulous mission for planetary science, and it is hard to see it come to an end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having been unpopular in high school is not just cause for book publications. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having been unpopular in high school is not just cause for book publications.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money does not change men, it only unmasks them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money does not change men, it only unmasks them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is the refusal to panic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is the refusal to panic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without promotion something terrible happens...
