He is the seeker, the finder, the restorer of all that, from Cain to the end of time, was lost and dead to the life of God. He is the love that prays for all its murderers; the love that willingly suffers and dies among thieves, that thieves may have a life with him in Paradise; the love that visits publicans, harlots and sinners, and wants and seeks to forgive where most is to be forgiven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not so much what you believe in that matters, as the way in which you believe it and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53673]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not so much what you believe in that matters, as the way in which you believe it and proceed to translate that belief into action.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In terms of the epidemiological risk of diabetes, this is by far the biggest finding to date. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33058]]></link><description><![CDATA[In terms of the epidemiological risk of diabetes, this is by far the biggest finding to date.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[" Life is filled with so many exciting twists and turns.

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[What we're trying to do is walk the line between not giving out any more [incentives] than absolutely necessary and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35923]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we're trying to do is walk the line between not giving out any more [incentives] than absolutely necessary and ensuring ... the program is not being taken advantage of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It looks to me to be narrow and pedantic to apply the ordinary ideas of criminal justice to this great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23643]]></link><description><![CDATA[It looks to me to be narrow and pedantic to apply the ordinary ideas of criminal justice to this great public contest.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, well has it been said, that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, well has it been said, that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to good conduct is never too late. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51198]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to good conduct is never too late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let it alone.
