He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Naps are nature's way of reminding you that life is nice - like a beautiful, softly swinging hammock strung between ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Naps are nature's way of reminding you that life is nice - like a beautiful, softly swinging hammock strung between birth and infinity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got high expectations this year.

Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This guelder rose, at far too slight a beck Of the wind, will toss about her flower-apples. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54424]]></link><description><![CDATA[This guelder rose, at far too slight a beck Of the wind, will toss about her flower-apples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63718]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where can I get some tat?

Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basic Pilot right now doesn't work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basic Pilot right now doesn't work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All three of them are competitive kids and they have always been successful players.
