It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39417]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only problem facing you in life is the belief inseparation from your Source.

Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Eve I saw a stable, low and very bare,   A little child in a manger.
