The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kelvin knew nothing about ground [fighting], and that's why he lost.

One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prevention is a whole lot less costly than treatment ? and maybe more effective. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prevention is a whole lot less costly than treatment ? and maybe more effective.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slackers aren't stupid, they are just too lazy to do anything about their situation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slackers aren't stupid, they are just too lazy to do anything about their situation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If wisdom were offered me with the provision that I should keep it shutup and refrain from declaring it, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21277]]></link><description><![CDATA[If wisdom were offered me with the provision that I should keep it shutup and refrain from declaring it, I should refuse.
