But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back.

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am inspired by many mediums and use them to express varied aspects of my philosophies and life observations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39268]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am inspired by many mediums and use them to express varied aspects of my philosophies and life observations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I started out with nothing.
