The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a time; the fish continues to swim about, but all the while the net is round it, and the fishermen will snatch it out in his own good time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which is repeated too often becomes insipid and tedious. [Fr., Tout ce qu'on dit de trop est fade et ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57341]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which is repeated too often becomes insipid and tedious. [Fr., Tout ce qu'on dit de trop est fade et rebutant.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise learn many things from their foes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52439]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise learn many things from their foes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She is not fair to outward view As many maidens be;  Her loveliness I never knew   Until ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3849]]></link><description><![CDATA[She is not fair to outward view As many maidens be;  Her loveliness I never knew   Until she smiled on me:    Oh! then I saw her eye was bright,     A well of love, a spring of light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some folks can look so busy doing nothing that they seem indispensable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some folks can look so busy doing nothing that they seem indispensable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I won't even begin to discuss it as a football match because it wasn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38428]]></link><description><![CDATA[I won't even begin to discuss it as a football match because it wasn't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took her into the doctor, and at first they didn't know what was wrong.

When there is a want of brotherly love and Christian confidence among professors of religion, then a revival is needed. Then there is a loud call for God to revive his work. When Christians have sunk down into a low and backslidden state, they neither have, nor ought to have, nor is there reason to have, the same love and confidence toward each other, as when they are all alive, and active, and living holy lives...  2. When there are dissensions, and jealousies, and evil speakings among professors of religion, then there is great need of a revival. These things show that Christians have got far from God, and it is time to think earnestly of a revival. Religion cannot prosper with such things in the church, and nothing can put an end to them like a revival.  3. When there is a worldly spirit in the church: it is manifest that the church is sunk down into a low and backslidden state, when you see Christians conform to the world in dress, equipage, parties, seeking worldly amusements, reading novels and other books such as the world reads. It shows that they are far from God, and that there is a great need of a Revival of Religion.
