But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You could compile the worst book in the world entirely out of selected passages from the best writers in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52819]]></link><description><![CDATA[You could compile the worst book in the world entirely out of selected passages from the best writers in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like your way of conditioning and contracting with the saints.

They have nothing to say as from themselves. Their narratives place us without preface, and keep us without comment, among external scenes, in full view of facts, and in contact with the living person whom they teach us to know... Who can fail to recognize a divine provision for placing the disciples of all future ages as nearly as possible in the position of those who had been personally present at "the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God"?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A commitment to sexual equality with males is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor, the rapist ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27214]]></link><description><![CDATA[A commitment to sexual equality with males is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor, the rapist instead of the raped, the murderer instead of the murdered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25384]]></link><description><![CDATA[A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport.
