They now knew him no more by sight and after the flesh; they had His Spirit. And this "having" is both a real possession and a foretaste, an earnest of what is in store...   The Spirit assures us that we are heirs of a kingdom yet to be revealed (Rom. 8:17). The Spirit wars in us against the flesh (Gal. 5:17) and gives us assurance that even our mortal bodies shall be quickened (Rom. 8:11). Meanwhile the very mark of the Spirit's presence is that we groan waiting for our adoption (Rom. 8:23) and hoping for that which we do not yet see (Rom. 8:24,25).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In fierce March weather White waves break tether,  And whirled together   At either hand,    ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26373]]></link><description><![CDATA[In fierce March weather White waves break tether,  And whirled together   At either hand,    Like weeds uplifted,     The tree-trunks rifted      In spars are drifted,       Like foam or sand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[A spokesman for Andersen reiterated the firm's statement given on Wednesday.] Reaching out to the groups affected in this case ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29655]]></link><description><![CDATA[[A spokesman for Andersen reiterated the firm's statement given on Wednesday.] Reaching out to the groups affected in this case is consistent with our commitment to address the issues raised by Enron's collapse in a straightforward and constructive manner, ...

But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a new birth for Iraq, a free Iraq. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34810]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a new birth for Iraq, a free Iraq.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life. -James F.

The fruits of the earth are the gift of God, and we pray for them as such; but yet we plant, and we sow, and we plough, for all that; and the hands which are sometimes lift up in prayer must at other times be put to the plough, or the husbandman must expect no crop. Everything must be effected in the way proper to its nature, with the concurrent influence of the divine grace, not to supersede the means, but to prosper and make them effectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason for the slow progress of the world seems to lie in a single fact.

Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men will commence in their present rank and promotion will be open to all men alike, without any distinctions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38535]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men will commence in their present rank and promotion will be open to all men alike, without any distinctions or qualifications, political or otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51947]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why is it that an extended olive branch often turns to a clinched fist of hatred? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why is it that an extended olive branch often turns to a clinched fist of hatred?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is great who is what he is from Nature, and who never reminds us of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18253]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is great who is what he is from Nature, and who never reminds us of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I suspect that hunger was my mother. [Lat., Famem fuisse suspicor matrem mihi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20157]]></link><description><![CDATA[I suspect that hunger was my mother. [Lat., Famem fuisse suspicor matrem mihi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But in his duty prompt at every call, He watch'd and wept, he pray'd and felt for all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48085]]></link><description><![CDATA[But in his duty prompt at every call, He watch'd and wept, he pray'd and felt for all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48085</guid></item></channel></rss>
