Having themselves been emancipated from the superstitions and slavery of a false doctrine and a harsh ecclesiastical government, it would be thought most natural that the Reformers and those who followed them should promptly turn their attention to spreading these glad tidings among non-Christian peoples; but here a strange anomaly is found in the fact that there had been hardly any period, in the entire history of the Christian Church, so destitute of any concerted effort to spread the gospel in heathen lands [as] just this period of the Reformation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was Autumn, and incessant Piped the quails from shocks and sheaves,  And, like living coals, the apples  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3562]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was Autumn, and incessant Piped the quails from shocks and sheaves,  And, like living coals, the apples   Burned among the withering leaves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been on a smooth downward trend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29643]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been on a smooth downward trend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're certainly a lot deeper.

It is certain that such people will never win the world for Christ... It is no use trying to pretend: we may speak of joy and preach about it: but, unless we really have the joy of Christ in our hearts and manifest it, our words will carry no conviction to our hearers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adoption is not about finding children for families, it's about finding families for children ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adoption is not about finding children for families, it's about finding families for children]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've written what and when I want to.
