His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither ascend and with Him continually dwell": it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61113]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned a great deal about music through my experiences.

He has called some to be "player-coaches" ... to equip the laity for the ministry they are to fulfill. This equipping ministry is of unique importance. One is appointed to this ministry by the Holy Spirit; therefore it must be undertaken with utmost seriousness. This is a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the roles of the laity and the clergy. The laity had the idea that they were already committed to a "full-time" vocation in the secular world, [and] thus they did not have time -- at least, much time -- to do God's work. Therefore they contributed money to "free" the clergy to have the time needed to fulfill God's ministry. This view is rank heresy. If we follow this pattern, we may continue to do God's work until the Lord comes again and never fulfill God's purpose as it ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blame is for God and small children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4296]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blame is for God and small children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches. - Mannequin: My Life as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/841]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches. - Mannequin: My Life as a Model.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no money, no resources, no hopes.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an industry that doesn't have the common cold...
