We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is mighty and will prevail.

Consider Christ's proceeding with Peter in the ship, in the storm: First he suffered him to be in some danger in the storm, but then he visits him with that strong assurance, "Be not afraid, It is I": any testimony of his presence rectifies all. This puts Peter into that spiritual confidence and courage, "Lord bid me come to thee"; he hath a desire to be with Christ, but yet stays his bidding: he puts not himself into an unnecessary danger, without commandment: Christ bids him, and Peter comes: but yet, though Christ were in his sight, and even in the actual exercise of his love to him, so soon as he saw a gust, a storm, "He was afraid"; and Christ lets him fear, and lets him sink, and lets him cry, but he directs his fear and his cry to the right end: "Lord, save me"; and thereupon he stretched forth his hand and saved him...   God puts his children into good ways, and he directs and protects them in those ways; for this is the constancy and perseverence of the love of Jesus Christ to us, as he is called in this text (Matt. 21:44), a stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life when order breeds habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life when order breeds habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The changes implemented by the AHL last season were successful in increasing the flow of the game and generating additional ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33107]]></link><description><![CDATA[The changes implemented by the AHL last season were successful in increasing the flow of the game and generating additional offensive opportunities, and the NHL's recent revisions in their own rules package will further enhance the quality of our sport.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise.

Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My name may have buoyancy enough to float upon the sea of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43652]]></link><description><![CDATA[My name may have buoyancy enough to float upon the sea of time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have seen the day of wrong through the little hole of discretion, and I will right myself like a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12450]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have seen the day of wrong through the little hole of discretion, and I will right myself like a soldier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The FTC is beginning to require] a lot more when they have a problem, ...

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20269]]></link><description><![CDATA[An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27910]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus' good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concluding a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus' good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God had come, and that he, Jesus, was its herald and expounder to men.
