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 wasn't my goal to come in here and turn everything around because they have had some success.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52057]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Widespread caffeine use explains a lot about the twentieth century. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56918]]></link><description><![CDATA[Widespread caffeine use explains a lot about the twentieth century.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe these are strong results from BT and that they should be well received by the market... there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31605]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe these are strong results from BT and that they should be well received by the market... there is more to BT than revenues.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marke it welle,There are flowers, and there are weeds-But mostly weeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marke it welle,There are flowers, and there are weeds-But mostly weeds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus The blessed son of God only In a crib full poor did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus The blessed son of God only In a crib full poor did lie; With our poor flesh and our poor blood Was clothed that everlasting good The Lord Christ Jesu, God's son dear, Was a guest and a stranger here; Us for to bring from misery, That we might live eternally.
