He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  The surest symbol of a heart not yet fully subdued ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  The surest symbol of a heart not yet fully subdued to God and His will is going to be found in the areas of money, sex, and power: in wanting these things for ourselves. The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact that writers will go through so much to remain writers says something, perhaps everything.

But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It began of nothing and in nothing it ends. [Lat., Et redit in nihilum quod fuit ante nihil.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3952]]></link><description><![CDATA[It began of nothing and in nothing it ends. [Lat., Et redit in nihilum quod fuit ante nihil.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who gather round, and wonder at the tale Of horrid apparition, tall and ghastly,  That walks at dead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2776]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who gather round, and wonder at the tale Of horrid apparition, tall and ghastly,  That walks at dead of night, or takes his stand   O'er some new-open'd grave; and, (strange to tell!)    Evanishes at crowing of the cock.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is true that we cannot be free from sin, but at least let our sins not be always the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56409]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is true that we cannot be free from sin, but at least let our sins not be always the same . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such subtle covenants shall be made, Till peace itself is war in masquerade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such subtle covenants shall be made, Till peace itself is war in masquerade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I was at fault, I could see paying.

But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbour as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever did, nor ever shall, truly go forth to convert the nations, nor to prophesy in the present ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7321]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever did, nor ever shall, truly go forth to convert the nations, nor to prophesy in the present state of witnesses against Antichrist, but by the gracious inspiration and instigation of the Holy Spirit of God...
