We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/516]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's in the middle of the whole tour, so we'll get to go out and change it up a little ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37644]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's in the middle of the whole tour, so we'll get to go out and change it up a little bit.
