But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which we are not permitted to have we delight in; that which we can have is disregarded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51187]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which we are not permitted to have we delight in; that which we can have is disregarded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were a tadpole, and I was a fish, In the Palaeozoic time,  And side by side in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14359]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you were a tadpole, and I was a fish, In the Palaeozoic time,  And side by side in the sluggish tide   We sprawled in the ooze and slime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That golden key That opes the palace of eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14203]]></link><description><![CDATA[That golden key That opes the palace of eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This may truly be a teachable moment about the impact of poverty and race on health, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33213]]></link><description><![CDATA[This may truly be a teachable moment about the impact of poverty and race on health,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always say don't make plans, make options. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37792]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always say don't make plans, make options.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was confirmed in my conviction that when all the best scholarship is taken into account we can know Christ ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6313]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was confirmed in my conviction that when all the best scholarship is taken into account we can know Christ as He was in the days of His flesh. Although I became familiar with the contemporary and recent studies of honest, competent scholars who questioned them, I was convinced that the historical evidence confirms the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Christ. Increasingly, I believed that the nearest verbal approach that we human beings can come to the great mystery is to affirm that Christ is both fully man and fully God. Although now we see Him not, yet believing, we can "rejoice with joy unspeakable" in what the Triune God has done and is doing through Him. This Good News, so rich that it is stated in a variety of ways, but always consistently, in the New Testament, is what we always imperfect children, but children [yet], are privileged -- and commanded -- to make known and to demonstrate to all mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hitler invaded in March 1938 and everything after that went downhill.
