Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To love what you do and feel that it matters-how could anything be morefun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22081]]></link><description><![CDATA[To love what you do and feel that it matters-how could anything be morefun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And a good south wind sprung up behind, The Albatross did follow,  And every day, for food or play, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1979]]></link><description><![CDATA[And a good south wind sprung up behind, The Albatross did follow,  And every day, for food or play,   Came to the mariner's hollo!    "God save thee, ancient Mariner!     From the fiends that plague thus thee!--      Why look'st thou so?"--"With my cross-bow       I shot the Albatross."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he awhile  Thought him still speaking, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60919]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he awhile  Thought him still speaking, still stood fix'd to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18194]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others.
