If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment. Israel is free and powerful when its law is observed throughout the land.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis best to pause, and think, ere you rush on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48773]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis best to pause, and think, ere you rush on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just hope that teams realize my foot injury really hampered me.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15511]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always a touch of sadness around the most beautiful things in life !. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1411]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always a touch of sadness around the most beautiful things in life !.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29861]]></link><description><![CDATA[What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, is a sense of purpose and meaning]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trick is in what one emphasizes.

The Love Feast, which should have been the sign and symbol of perfect unity, has become a thing of divisions and class distinctions. And here there is something which only the newer translations reveal. In the older translations, it is said that to eat and drink at the sacrament without discerning the Lord's body is the way to judgment and not to salvation. But in the best Greek text, the word Lord's is not included. The sin is not to discern the body; that is to say, not to discern that the church is a body, not to be aware of the oneness of the church, not to be aware of the togetherness in which all its members should be joined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody is grappling with this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody is grappling with this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every sleepy boy and girl in every bed around the world ~~ Can hear the stars up in the sky ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every sleepy boy and girl in every bed around the world ~~ Can hear the stars up in the sky whispering a lullaby]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think withpurpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21076]]></link><description><![CDATA[To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think withpurpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognizefailure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditionsserve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplishmasterfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With thumb turned. [Lat., Verso pollice.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23536]]></link><description><![CDATA[With thumb turned. [Lat., Verso pollice.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For without transformation Men become wolves on every slight occasion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48737]]></link><description><![CDATA[For without transformation Men become wolves on every slight occasion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34095]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the way it's been all year.
