Who is my true brother? We cannot always tell whether or not a man believes in Christ; but we can always ask -- Christianity is not a secret society. And if a man says he loves the Lord, why should I not treat him as my brother? If I should happen to welcome one who is only a professing Christian, who has not given his heart to Christ, what harm has it done? I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the truth as I see it, my dear, Out in the wind and the rain:  They who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47758]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the truth as I see it, my dear, Out in the wind and the rain:  They who have nothing have little to fear,   Nothing to lose or to gain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll have a short presentation.

In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices continue to climb even though construction is under way.

Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend sticks with you through thick and thin no matter what. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16962]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend sticks with you through thick and thin no matter what.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16962</guid></item></channel></rss>
