Much more is required than the bringing of aid to people who are homeless and in need, and contributing to their support. There are real dangers to be faced.

One side of Christ's work will appeal most to one mind, another to another. The mistake that is often made by those who speak most about Christian experience is that they are so apt to insist upon everyone else's experience -- on penalty of its utter worthlessness -- being exactly the same as their own. The great thing is that we should be attracted by Christ in some way, that we should come to God in that spirit of penitence which Christ taught was the one condition of acceptance with Him, and with that steady purpose of amendment which is, as he always taught, a part of true penitence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a nonpolitical speech by a politician. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47033]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a nonpolitical speech by a politician.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16459]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in the universe has a purpose.

It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old myths, old gods, old heroes have never died.
