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[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935]]></link><description><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10568]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems safe to say that significant discovery, really creative thinking, does not occur with regard to problems about which the thinker is lukewarm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's been a very real structural shift, primarily in manufacturing employment, as a result of outsourcing and earlier capital investment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40334]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's been a very real structural shift, primarily in manufacturing employment, as a result of outsourcing and earlier capital investment that has increased productivity.

To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them?
