To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18376]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He always wanted to beat up on the bigger kids; even when he was small, he'd always tag along.

I know I desire it sincerely; but I do verily believe that when God shall accomplish it, it will be the effect of love, and not the cause of love.

It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is notone's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is notone's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet onhis ideas, to take a calculated risk-and to act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must overact our part in some measure, in order to produce any effect at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32661]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must overact our part in some measure, in order to produce any effect at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a very nice wide receiver to have in our program, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40420]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's a very nice wide receiver to have in our program,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.
