Christ, the Spirit of Christ, interpenetrating ours, sweetens, purifies, transforms all. This can only eradicate what is wrong, renovate and regenerate, and rehabilitate the inner man. Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does. Therefore "Let that mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I call myself a 'domestic goddess.'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19903]]></link><description><![CDATA[I call myself a 'domestic goddess.'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[, HeartMath Discovery Program Time pressure starts to subside when we shift to the heart to find quality of mood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59331]]></link><description><![CDATA[, HeartMath Discovery Program Time pressure starts to subside when we shift to the heart to find quality of mood and ease.

We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless the vessel be pure, everything which is poured into it will turn sour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless the vessel be pure, everything which is poured into it will turn sour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you cannot enforce, do not command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1485]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you cannot enforce, do not command.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat; it ever changes with the next block. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18890]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat; it ever changes with the next block.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52203]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jest not with the two-edged sword of God's word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jest not with the two-edged sword of God's word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This storm is far from over.
