And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are coming to understand health not as the absence of disease, but rather as the process by which individuals ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25028]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are coming to understand health not as the absence of disease, but rather as the process by which individuals maintain their sense of coherence (i.e. sense that life is comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful) and ability to function in the face of changes in themselves and their relationships with their environment. -Aaron Antonovsky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My dad's house got washed away in the flood.

Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item></channel></rss>
