He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is a sheltering tree. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is a sheltering tree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is atragedy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is atragedy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, I no longer work for anything but the sensation I have while working. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically, I no longer work for anything but the sensation I have while working.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With little wit and ease to suit them, They whirl in narrow circling trails,  Like kittens playing with their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61820]]></link><description><![CDATA[With little wit and ease to suit them, They whirl in narrow circling trails,  Like kittens playing with their tails.   [Ger., Mit wenig Witz und viel Behagen    Dreht jeder sich im engen Zirkeltanz     Wie junge Katzen mit dem Schwanz.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is.

We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive. It is so with Christ. In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our health will have a lot to do with our success down the stretch.
