Verily, I say to thee, let no man deem himself the perfect friend of God until he have passed through many temptations and tribulations... I am ready to endure patiently all things that my Lord would do with me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say unto him, Caesar's.

He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is philosophy learned from examples. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19450]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is philosophy learned from examples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft pity enters an iron gate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft pity enters an iron gate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18735]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman that is like a German clock, Still a-repairing, ever out of frame,  And never going aright, being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman that is like a German clock, Still a-repairing, ever out of frame,  And never going aright, being a watch,   But being watched that it may still go right!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skepticism is slow suicide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skepticism is slow suicide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most?

"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law - Intelligent people, when assembled into an organization, will tend toward collective stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law - Intelligent people, when assembled into an organization, will tend toward collective stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The AethiopThe purchaser of a black servant was persuaded that the color of his skin arose from dirt contracted through ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1594]]></link><description><![CDATA[The AethiopThe purchaser of a black servant was persuaded that the color of his skin arose from dirt contracted through the neglect of his former masters.

For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item></channel></rss>
