In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These other states, they don't let grass grow, so we've got to get it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30277]]></link><description><![CDATA[These other states, they don't let grass grow, so we've got to get it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Senate and the country need Senators of courage who are prepared to make their mark on history by standing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55095]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Senate and the country need Senators of courage who are prepared to make their mark on history by standing with past profiles in courage, and defending not party, not partisanship, but defending principle and democracy itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45167]]></link><description><![CDATA[An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14698]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward.

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment.
