So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever man uses without the fear of God, whatever he applies to the mere gratifying of his flesh, cannot fail ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever man uses without the fear of God, whatever he applies to the mere gratifying of his flesh, cannot fail to operate as a poison to the soul, however pleasant and salutary it may appear to be to the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was thinking, 'Wow, I'm really in here,' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40542]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was thinking, 'Wow, I'm really in here,']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music...

It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clear conscience is a soft pillow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9811]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clear conscience is a soft pillow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has been a transformation - you can feel it among the players - but I can hold my hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30669]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has been a transformation - you can feel it among the players - but I can hold my hand up and say that is not down to me coaching on the field.
