And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59158]]></link><description><![CDATA[The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poets, we know, are terribly sensitive people, and in my observation one of the things they are most sensitive about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets, we know, are terribly sensitive people, and in my observation one of the things they are most sensitive about is money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957  Above all, desire to please Christ; dread ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957  Above all, desire to please Christ; dread his disapproval above everything else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success.

It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item></channel></rss>
