Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men. The earliest converts were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they already had... The "Gospels" came later and were written not to make Christians but to edify Christians already made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43062]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover in the summer sky   Are all asleep to-night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that well his warke beginneth The rather a good ende he winneth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62111]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that well his warke beginneth The rather a good ende he winneth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although they are at different skill levels, working with a traumatized and bereaved population was new for all of them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although they are at different skill levels, working with a traumatized and bereaved population was new for all of them, ...

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist    The Rev.

David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we can be more efficient in some ways, especially offensively.

For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is known when needed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29554]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is known when needed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is my simple religion.
