Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65736]]></link><description><![CDATA[A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ancestor of every action is a thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/469]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ancestor of every action is a thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't excell with talent, triumph with effort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1488]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't excell with talent, triumph with effort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing when ill, is to never lose heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28017]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important thing when ill, is to never lose heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not addicted to nicotine, so why do I have to participate in your drug addiction? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27690]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not addicted to nicotine, so why do I have to participate in your drug addiction?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our land, the first garden of liberty's tree-- It has been, and shall be, the land of the free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our land, the first garden of liberty's tree-- It has been, and shall be, the land of the free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the board members examined the options, they decided that putting up a new building with all the latest technology ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33176]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the board members examined the options, they decided that putting up a new building with all the latest technology would make the most sense.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every stroke counts.

Nothing else will meet my case. There is something genuinely at stake in every man's life, the climax whereof is death. Dying is inevitable, but arriving at the destination God offers to me is not inevitable. It is not impossible to go out of the way and fail to arrive. Christian doctrine has always urged that life eternal is something which may conceivably be missed. It is possible to neglect this great salvation and to lose it eternally, even though no man may say that anything is impossible with God or that his grace may ultimately be defeated. I know it is no longer fashionable to talk about Hell, one good reason for this being that to make religion into a prudential insurance policy is to degrade it. The Faith is not a fire-escape.
