He is somewhere in the recesses of our soul, in the springs of our existence, a light in that mysterious region of our nature where the wishes, feelings, thoughts, and emotions take their earliest rise. The mind is a sanctuary, in the center of which the Lord sits enthroned, the lamp of consciousness burning before Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63650]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of the friend who was once your foe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of the friend who was once your foe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big challenge is inventory.

Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The discontented man finds no easy chair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12428]]></link><description><![CDATA[The discontented man finds no easy chair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44123]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength not my weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength not my weakness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't surprise me.

In the end, the first step of obedience proves to be an act of faith in the word of Christ. But we should completely misunderstand the nature of grace if we were to suppose that there was no need to take the first-step, because faith was already there. Against that, we must boldly assert that the step of obedience must be taken before faith can be possible. Unless he obeys, a man cannot believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious.
