But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, it helped prepare us that every game we played counted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, it helped prepare us that every game we played counted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concealed sorrow bursts the heart, and rages within us as an internal fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concealed sorrow bursts the heart, and rages within us as an internal fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you not accustomed to look at home, when you abuse others? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you not accustomed to look at home, when you abuse others?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If two men on a job agree all the time, then one is useless.

Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Should banded unions persecute Opinions, and induce a time  When single thought is civil crime,   And individual ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Should banded unions persecute Opinions, and induce a time  When single thought is civil crime,   And individual freedom mute,    . . . .     Then waft me from the harbour's mouth,      Wild wind, I seek a warmer sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Messages can't be intercepted if they aren't sent, can they? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Messages can't be intercepted if they aren't sent, can they?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Voting is the least arduous of a citizen's duties.

Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who would not be that youth?
