He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Staying up all night is a waste of sleeping, and a waste of sleepingis a waste of dreaming, and dreaming ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Staying up all night is a waste of sleeping, and a waste of sleepingis a waste of dreaming, and dreaming is important because the moredreams you have, the better chance of one coming true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great religious historian, Eusebius, ingenuously remarks that in his history he carefully omitted whatever tended to discredit the church, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great religious historian, Eusebius, ingenuously remarks that in his history he carefully omitted whatever tended to discredit the church, and that he piously magnified all that conduced to her glory]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4282]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And, being fed by us, you used us so As that ungentle gull, the cuckoo's bird,  Useth the sparrow--did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10813]]></link><description><![CDATA[And, being fed by us, you used us so As that ungentle gull, the cuckoo's bird,  Useth the sparrow--did oppress our nest; . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to put the kids at ease and focus on the things that they're going to need to get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32201]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to put the kids at ease and focus on the things that they're going to need to get past the falling-down part.
