How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The liberals who are holding things up need to ask themselves if they want the right to civil liberties or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39014]]></link><description><![CDATA[The liberals who are holding things up need to ask themselves if they want the right to civil liberties or the right not to be blown up on the way to work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57937]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like an onion.

It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When two characters or two actresses are together for a while there is bound to be chemistry developing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37975]]></link><description><![CDATA[When two characters or two actresses are together for a while there is bound to be chemistry developing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hate the hawk because he ever lives in battle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50800]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hate the hawk because he ever lives in battle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We competed better in the second half, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30662]]></link><description><![CDATA[We competed better in the second half,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come.

People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn, Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3552]]></link><description><![CDATA[All-cheering Plenty, with her flowing horn, Led yellow Autumn, wreath'd with nodding corn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3552</guid></item></channel></rss>
