But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice.

If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item></channel></rss>
