What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44888]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These faces in the mirrors Are but the shadows and phantoms of myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14862]]></link><description><![CDATA[These faces in the mirrors Are but the shadows and phantoms of myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.

Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just feel that I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3366]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just feel that I'm in tune with the right vibrations in the universe when I'm in the process of working.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what is the potential man, after all?

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The supreme, the merciless, the destroyer of opposition, the exalted King, the shepherd, the protector of the quarters of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19505]]></link><description><![CDATA[The supreme, the merciless, the destroyer of opposition, the exalted King, the shepherd, the protector of the quarters of the world, the King the word of whose mouth destroys mountains and seas, who by his lordly attack has forced mighty and merciless Kings from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same to acknowledge one supremacy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone who thinks the world is always cheating him is right.

It is only by contact with God that a better quality of living can be achieved -- and Jesus Himself, as the records show, speent many hours in communion with God -- yet that new quality of life has to be both demonstrated and tested in the ordinary rough-and-tumble of plain living.
