Frequently, when rival parties and rival nations fought with one another as to which of two opposed dogmas was the truth, they had been arrayed against one another by more deep-seated and vital causes, and merely inscribed at the last the dogmas on their standards or chose them as watchwords or symbols. We are tired of those elaborate discussions of the fine, wire-drawn, subtle distinctions between sects, and those elaborate discussions of the principles involved in heresies, and we desire to see the real differences in life and conduct receive more attention.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1885]]></link><description><![CDATA[How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is quite true that the Greek word ekklesia comes from two roots which mean literally "called out."

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without favour none will know you, and with it you will not know your selfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without favour none will know you, and with it you will not know your selfe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet is the recollection of difficulties overcome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet is the recollection of difficulties overcome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 14-17]   For the Spirit we have received ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 14-17]   For the Spirit we have received is the Spirit of the Son of God, and we possessing it are God's sons too, and "that of God in us" leaps out towards the God who is the source of it. The Spirit of Jesus within us moves us to prayer: indeed, prayer is just the moving of God's Son in us towards the Father.

Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She 's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is a woman, therefore to be won. -King Henry VI.
