We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bulgaria is guilty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bulgaria is guilty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How the devil is it that fresh features Have such a charm for us poor human creatures? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48745]]></link><description><![CDATA[How the devil is it that fresh features Have such a charm for us poor human creatures?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45080]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English - up to fifty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22949]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English - up to fifty words used in correct context - no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is the happiest of men?

Be near me when all else is from me drifting;   Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting   The love that answers mine. I have but Thee, my Father! let Thy spirit   Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,   Nor street of shining gold.
