All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The judges and prosecutors are under threat and pressure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28433]]></link><description><![CDATA[The judges and prosecutors are under threat and pressure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were stepping out of the mosque and suddenly a big blast shook the ground, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36715]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were stepping out of the mosque and suddenly a big blast shook the ground,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It makes the Super Bowl even more important than it has ever been.

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[Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are. -Anais Nin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46078]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are. -Anais Nin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29510]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the High School for Performing Arts, and to Howard University on a talent scholarship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[President Chirac said recently almost with the tone of 'I told you so' that what he considers blind loyalty to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32537]]></link><description><![CDATA[President Chirac said recently almost with the tone of 'I told you so' that what he considers blind loyalty to the U.S. doesn't get you much in return,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where now I have no one to blush with me, To cross their arms and hang their heads with mine, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where now I have no one to blush with me, To cross their arms and hang their heads with mine,  To mask their brows and hide their infamy;   But I alone, alone must sit and pine,    Seasoning the earth with show'rs of silver brine,     Mingling my talk with tears, my grief with groans,      Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hold our greyhound in our hand, Our falcon on our glove;  But where shall we find leash, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51113]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hold our greyhound in our hand, Our falcon on our glove;  But where shall we find leash, or band,   For dame that loves to rove?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a pretty jovial guy.
