What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If that proves not to be possible then I think as a community we're prepared to trust to the good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38770]]></link><description><![CDATA[If that proves not to be possible then I think as a community we're prepared to trust to the good offices of the premier and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you can lose, you should reckon of no account. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever you can lose, you should reckon of no account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This partnership of resources is a positive for our customers and farmers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33023]]></link><description><![CDATA[This partnership of resources is a positive for our customers and farmers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ha! see where the wild-blazing Grog-Shop appears, As the red waves of wretchedness swell,  How it burns on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ha! see where the wild-blazing Grog-Shop appears, As the red waves of wretchedness swell,  How it burns on the edge of tempestuous years   The horrible Light-House of Hell!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When thou dost tell another's jest, therein Omit the oaths, which true wit cannot need;  Pick out of tales ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57918]]></link><description><![CDATA[When thou dost tell another's jest, therein Omit the oaths, which true wit cannot need;  Pick out of tales the mirth, but not the sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought his form last season was fantastic and in the Tri-Series he was first class.
