There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're the first hard coking coal to go into production in the northeast in the last 20 years.

"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It struck me that the movies had spent more than half a century saying, "They lived happily ever after" and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43365]]></link><description><![CDATA[It struck me that the movies had spent more than half a century saying, "They lived happily ever after" and the following quarter-century warning that they'll be lucky to make it through the weekend.

But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is getting what you want.
