The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  August 26, 2000 Continuing a short series on the Bible:   Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere. You will know it the moment you come to it, for it will rest your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one door closes, another opens: but we often look so long and soregretfully upon the closed door that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21185]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one door closes, another opens: but we often look so long and soregretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which hasopened for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Greeks said, "Whom the gods love die young," they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52349]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the Greeks said, "Whom the gods love die young," they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored by the gods stay young till the day they die; young and playful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The act is judged of by the event. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50766]]></link><description><![CDATA[The act is judged of by the event.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced. It is certainly important to have an intellectual grasp of the orb of Christian truth; but it is still more important to have a vital, living experience of the power of Jesus Christ. When a man undergoes treatment from a doctor, he does not need to know the way in which the drug works on his body in order to be cured. There is a sense in which Christianity is like that. At the heart of Christianity there is a mystery, but it is not the mystery of intellectual appreciation; it the mystery of redemption.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think you can, you can.
