It is only by contact with God that a better quality of living can be achieved -- and Jesus Himself, as the records show, speent many hours in communion with God -- yet that new quality of life has to be both demonstrated and tested in the ordinary rough-and-tumble of plain living. It is in ordinary human relationships that the validity of a man's communion with God is to be proved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is difficult to those who have the will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is difficult to those who have the will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'd hear the horn blow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29625]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'd hear the horn blow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Waste is worse than loss.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life.

In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61519]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[According to Doug Allen, president of MastroNet, the rapidly growing Americana division provided fertile ground for establishing some new favorite ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33926]]></link><description><![CDATA[[According to Doug Allen, president of MastroNet, the rapidly growing Americana division provided fertile ground for establishing some new favorite collecting items and areas of interest.] There can be little doubt that Americana collectors are increasing in numbers, ...
