We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Newton, Pascal, Bossuet, Racine, Fénelon -- that is to say, some of the most enlightened men on earth, in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Newton, Pascal, Bossuet, Racine, Fénelon -- that is to say, some of the most enlightened men on earth, in the most philosophical of all ages -- have been believers in Jesus Christ; and the great Condé, when dying, repeated these noble words, "Yes, I shall see God as He is, face to face!".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Till last by Philip's farm I flowTo join the brimming river,For men may come and men may go,But I go ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25381]]></link><description><![CDATA[Till last by Philip's farm I flowTo join the brimming river,For men may come and men may go,But I go on for ever. - The Brook.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why it's nerve-wracking; you've just got to sit there.

First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1940]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know what?

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Syracuse will be happy to see that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Syracuse will be happy to see that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34157</guid></item></channel></rss>
