Usually the workers themselves have had insufficient training for the job they are asked to perform. And always they work in a secularized culture, in the midst of spiritual illiteracy, where the most commonplace terms in the Bible and the most elemental ideas concerning the Kingdom of God sound strange even to otherwise well-educated adults.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53419]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our concern is that that black-box warning might discourage parents from getting treatment for their children.
