The sword may make a whole nation of hypocrites. But to recover a soul from Satan by repentance, and to bring them from anti-Christian doctrine or worship to the Christian doctrine and worship, in the least true internal or external submission, is only worked by the all-powerful God through the sword of the Spirit in the hand of His spiritual officers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the number one factor impacting these programs is the tight labor market, which is making it really hard ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40260]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the number one factor impacting these programs is the tight labor market, which is making it really hard for employers to let their workers go for eight to 12 weeks at time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing.

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren?

They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live for yourself -- there's no one elseMore worth living forBegging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live for yourself -- there's no one elseMore worth living forBegging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20763</guid></item></channel></rss>
