Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels  None but the Lord himself can afford us any help from the awful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels  None but the Lord himself can afford us any help from the awful workings of unbelief, doubtings, carnal fears, murmurings.

It is the prolonged sacrifice of the rights of some persons at the bidding and for the satisfaction of other persons. The ruling idea of the politician - stated rather bluntly - is that those who are opposed to him exist for the purpose of being made to serve his ends, if he can get power enough in his hands to force these ends upon them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your most precious possession is not your financial assets.

Too often, alas, conversion has been the end as well as the beginning, with the result that some Christians have looked back, with mingled delight and wistfulness to a past event that now seems to have diminished relevance to daily living. We can fully understand, then, the appeal of a movement which promises a new dimension of Christian living, there in the New Testament, and now available in everyday experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being born is like being kidnapped.
