How, then, is it with you and me? Be very sure that upon Calvary it was no strange, immoral favouritism that came into operation, whereby because of some beliefs that remain mere dead letters, that produce no change whatever in their characters, some people living the same kind of life as others and following the same selfish interests and ends as they, are given a destiny entirely different. That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39645]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63301]]></link><description><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Pentecost Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  It was something more than a glorified Jesus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Pentecost Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  It was something more than a glorified Jesus Christ in the heavens in which [the Apostles] believed. In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tech sector should provide a nice hedge from broad-based (outward) spread pressure in 2006, especially in cyclical areas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38801]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tech sector should provide a nice hedge from broad-based (outward) spread pressure in 2006, especially in cyclical areas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rills of pleasure never run sincere, (Earth has no unpolluted spring)  From the cursed soil some dang'rous taint ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rills of pleasure never run sincere, (Earth has no unpolluted spring)  From the cursed soil some dang'rous taint they bear;   So roses grow on thorns, and honey wears a sting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Search then the ruling passion; there alone, The wild are constant, and the cunning known;  The fool consistent, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Search then the ruling passion; there alone, The wild are constant, and the cunning known;  The fool consistent, and the false sincere;   Priests, princes, women, no dissemblers here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/181]]></link><description><![CDATA[No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ:   Break Thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ:   Break Thou the bread of life,  Dear Lord, to me, As Thou didst break the loaves   Beside the sea; Beyond the sacred page  I seek Thee, Lord; My spirit pants for Thee,  O living word!
