That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to amuse some people is to slip and fall on an icy pavement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28116]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to amuse some people is to slip and fall on an icy pavement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did you ever stop to ask what a yoke is really for?

Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first men that our Saviour dear Did choose to wait upon Him here,  Blest fishers were; and fish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16099]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first men that our Saviour dear Did choose to wait upon Him here,  Blest fishers were; and fish the last   Food was, that He on earth did taste:    I therefore strive to follow those,     Whom He to follow Him hath chose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy thou that learnest from another's griefs, not to subject thyself to the same. [Lat., Felix quicumque dolore alterius disces ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy thou that learnest from another's griefs, not to subject thyself to the same. [Lat., Felix quicumque dolore alterius disces posse cavere tuo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who is popular is bound to be disliked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who is popular is bound to be disliked.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47712</guid></item></channel></rss>
