This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren?

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did somebody dream there is some way that the government doesn't need us? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did somebody dream there is some way that the government doesn't need us?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life demands from you only the strength you posses.
