It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee goes not out of his way, that goes to a good Inne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee goes not out of his way, that goes to a good Inne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say miracles are past. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calumny is only the noise of madmen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calumny is only the noise of madmen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wheel that squeaks the loudest is the first to be replaced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9242]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wheel that squeaks the loudest is the first to be replaced.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27266]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a fine line between genius and insanity.
