Therefore, the true way for you to find Christ is not to go groping in a thousand books. It is not for you to try evidences about a thousand things that people have believed of Him, but it is for you to undertake so great a life, so devoted a life, so pure a life, so serviceable a life, that you cannot do it except by Christ, and then see whether Christ helps you. See then whether there comes to you the certainty that you are a child of God, and the manifestation of the child of God becomes the most credible, the most certain thing to you in all of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The product, abortion, is skillfully marketed and sold to the woman at the crisis time in her life.

But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain we call old notions fudge And bend our conscience to our dealing.  The Ten Commandments will not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59131]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain we call old notions fudge And bend our conscience to our dealing.  The Ten Commandments will not budge   And stealing will continue stealing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Study nature, not books ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Study nature, not books]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Halloo your name to the reverberate hills, And make the babbling gossip of the air Cry out. -Twelfth Night.
