([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The newest books are those that never grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4599]]></link><description><![CDATA[The newest books are those that never grow old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth. [Lat., O quam cito transit gloria mundi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17548]]></link><description><![CDATA[O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth. [Lat., O quam cito transit gloria mundi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will attempt no historical or theological classification of [George] Macdonald's thought, partly because I have not the learning to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8517]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will attempt no historical or theological classification of [George] Macdonald's thought, partly because I have not the learning to do so, still more because I am no great friend to such pigeon-holing. One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sanity is very rare: every man almost, and every woman, has a dash of madness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sanity is very rare: every man almost, and every woman, has a dash of madness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3969]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jest not with the eye or with Religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jest not with the eye or with Religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mill Valley game was big.

How human is the God of the Old Testament -- the God who appears, speaks, guides, who loves and is loved, even as the Man of the New Testament, Christ Jesus, is divine! This difference between the idea of an absolute and infinite God and the God of Scripture is, after all, that which separates the true believer and Christian from the natural man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darkness within darkness.
