A fellowship of prodigal sons came into being -- the church of Christ. Love begets love. A new power ... was let loose upon our suffering world, the power to love those who have not deserved love, the unworthy, the unlovely and unlovable, a man's enemies, and even his torturers.

Abraham, Moses, and David were valiant believers, but compared to Jesus they were timid souls. Consider the human disappointments Jesus endured: rejected in his home town, harassed and persecuted by the religious leaders of his nation, misunderstood by his own family, betrayed with a kiss and abandoned by all his followers. Yet through it all Jesus never complained or rebelled against God; he trusted God even on the cross. Psalm 34 sets forth Jesus' pioneering discovery of God's faithfulness and delivering power. Thus Jesus was "delivered from all his fears" (v 4), "saved ... out of all his troubles" (v 6), "delivered out of all his afflictions" (v 19).  Certainly Jesus is our primary teacher and example in trusting God. If David could teach his followers to trust in God, how much more Jesus. As we see the steadfast faith of our Lord through weariness, disappointment, rejection, and even death on a cross, we cannot but be encouraged to believe that God can deliver us through our small trials. That is why we should run the race set before us looking unto Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,  That mark our place, and in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47689]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,  That mark our place, and in the sky,   The larks, still bravely singing, fly    Scarce heard among the guns below.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O fair undress, best dress! it checks no vein, But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,  And heightens ease ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2768]]></link><description><![CDATA[O fair undress, best dress! it checks no vein, But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,  And heightens ease with grace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here comes a pair of very strange beasts, which in all tongues are called fools. -As You Like It.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride has a greater share than goodness of heart in the remonstrances we make to those who are guilty of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride has a greater share than goodness of heart in the remonstrances we make to those who are guilty of faults; we reprove, not so much with a view to correcting them, as to persuade them that we are exempt from those faults ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman of mystique is fully aware of her flaws and weaknesses, yet she is strong enough to admit them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61348]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman of mystique is fully aware of her flaws and weaknesses, yet she is strong enough to admit them and not be embarrassed by them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tear forgot as soon as shed, The sunshine of the breast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58798]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tear forgot as soon as shed, The sunshine of the breast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the consolidation at retail, manufacturers are looking at how they can have more control over their business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42480]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the consolidation at retail, manufacturers are looking at how they can have more control over their business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42480</guid></item></channel></rss>
