In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4706]]></link><description><![CDATA[If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist    The Rev.

David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No Indian prince has to his palace More followers than a thief to the gallows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59128]]></link><description><![CDATA[No Indian prince has to his palace More followers than a thief to the gallows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale,  And nightly to the listening earth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale,  And nightly to the listening earth   Repeats the story of her birth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't want to look past this game.
