This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Help thi kynne, Crist bit (biddeth), for ther bygynneth charitie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Help thi kynne, Crist bit (biddeth), for ther bygynneth charitie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commissioners court has reached out to the public and sought input on future facilities.

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ...
