All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can milk a cow the wrong way once and still be a farmer, but vote the wrong way on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60992]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can milk a cow the wrong way once and still be a farmer, but vote the wrong way on a water tower and you can be in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  If it be the earnest desire and longing of your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  If it be the earnest desire and longing of your heart to be merciful as He is merciful; to be full of His unwearied patience, to dwell in His unalterable meekness; if you long to be like Him in universal, impartial love; if you desire to communicate every good to every creature that you are able; if you love and practice everything that is good, righteous, and lovely for its own sake, because it is good, righteous, and lovely; and resist no evil but with goodness; then you have the utmost certainty that the Spirit of God dwells and governs in you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Possibly, more people kill themselves and others out of hurt vanity than out of envy, jealousy, malice or desire for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Possibly, more people kill themselves and others out of hurt vanity than out of envy, jealousy, malice or desire for revenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others.
