The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding. Have I not tarried?  Ay, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10143]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding. Have I not tarried?  Ay, the grinding; but you must tarry the bolting.   Have I not tarried?    Ay, the bolting; but you must tarry the leavening.     Still have I tarried.      Ay, to the leavening; but here's yet in the word 'hereafter' the      kneading, the making of the cake, the heating of the oven, and      the baking; nay, you must stay the cooling too, or you may chance      to burn your lips.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A master of straw eates a servant of steele. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49061]]></link><description><![CDATA[A master of straw eates a servant of steele.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18028]]></link><description><![CDATA[All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentimental irony is a dog that bays at the moon while pissing on graves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentimental irony is a dog that bays at the moon while pissing on graves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lonely is the person who is no ones number 1 ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lonely is the person who is no ones number 1]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Bunyan understood the Gospel when he wrote that tract, "The Jerusalem Sinner Saved."

He knew that every sinner is a Jerusalem sinner who has crucified the Lord of Glory; and to whom, notwithstanding all this, the grace of God is exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Therefore the Apostle Paul himself is a pattern... of the grace of God abounding to the Christ-crucifiers. A new covenant is made with those who transgressed the first covenant. It is the brethren of Joseph, who have sold him into Egypt, who are made the partakers of Joseph's power and of Joseph's riches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not endorsing a site.

If there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, does all the great past of Israel go for nothing? Do all the promises of Scripture go for nothing? First, let me say how bitterly I regret the exclusion of the Jewish nation as a body from the new life. I would surrender all my Christian privileges if I could find a way to bring them in. But we must recognize facts; and the first fact is that the nation as a whole never was able to claim the promises; from the beginning, there was a process of selection. Of the sons of Abraham, Isaac alone was called; of the sons of Isaac, Jacob only. If we ask why, there is no answer save that God is bound by no natural or historical necessity, but intervenes according to His will. To question that will is as absurd as for the pot to arraign the potter. Then again, while some members of the Hebrew race have always fallen out, always God has declared His purpose ultimately to include others, not members of the Hebrew race--and that is just what is now happening. Now, as I said, I desire nothing more earnestly than that the whole nation should be saved. But the fact is that they have deliberately rejected the chance that was offered them. There is nothing remote or abstruse about the Christian message. It is a very simple thing: acknowledge Jesus as Lord, and believe that He is alive; that is all. And they cannot say that they have never heard the message, for Christ has His witnesses everywhere. It looks, then, as if God had rejected His people, as punishment for their obstinacy. I do not believe it. God's promises cannot go for nothing. In the first place, there has always been, and there still is, a faithful remnant of the Jewish people. And in the second place, as for the main body, their present rejection of the message is only a means in God's Providence for its extension to the Gentiles. The old olive-tree of Israel stands yet; many of its branches have been lopped off, and new branches of wild olive have been engrafted in their place. But God can engraft the lopped branches on again, if it be His will; and I believe it is His will, and that in the end the whole nation will return to Him and inherit the promises. And if the failure of Israel has meant such blessing to the world, how much greater blessing will its ultimate salvation bring! God's purpose, as I said at the beginning (Rom. 1:16), is universal: He has permitted the whole of humanity, Jew and Gentile alike, to fall under sin, only in order that He may finally have mercy on the whole of humanity, Jew and Gentile alike. How profound and unsearchable are His plans! (Rom. 9:1-11:36)  So now I can take up again my main argument. If this is the way of God's dealing with us, what ought to be our response? Can we do less than offer our entire selves to God as a sacrifice of thanksgiving? How will that work out? In a life lived as by members of one single body. Let each perform his part faithfully. Let love rule all your relations one to another, and to those outside, even to your enemies. Do not regard the Emperor as outside the scope of love, but obey his laws and pay his taxes. Yes, and pay all debts to every one. Love is, in fact, the one comprehensive debt of man to man. If you love your neighbour as yourself, you have fulfilled the whole moral law. But be in earnest about things, for the better day is already dawning. (Rom. 12:1-13:14)  I hear you have differences among yourselves about Sabbath-keeping and vegetarianism. Take this matter, then, as an example of what I mean by the application of brotherly love to all conduct. Remember that the Sabbatarian and the anti-Sabbatarian, the vegetarian and the meat-eater, are alike servants of one Master. Give each other credit for the best motives. Do not think of yourself alone; think of your Christian brother, and try to put yourself in his place. If he seems to you a weak-minded, over-scrupulous individual, remember that in any case he is your brother, and that Christ died for him as well as for you, and reverence his conscience. If through your example he should do an act which is harmless in you but sin to him, you have injured his conscience. Is it worth while so to imperil a soul for the sake of your liberty in such external matters? If the other man is weak-minded, and you strong-minded, all the more reason why you should help to bear his burden. Remember, Christ did not please Himself. In a word, Sabbatarian and anti-Sabbatarian, Jew and Gentile, treat one another as Christ has treated you, and God be with you. (Rom. 14:1-15:13)  Well, friends, I hardly think you needed this long exhortation from me. You are intelligent Christians, and well able to give one another good advice. Still, I thought I might venture to remind you of a few points ; for after all, I do feel a measure of responsibility for you, as missionary to the Gentiles. I have now accomplished my mission as far West as the Adriatic. Now I am going to Jerusalem to hand over the relief fund we have raised in Greece. After that I hope to start work in the West, and I propose to set out for Spain and take Rome on my way. Pray for me, that my errand to Jerusalem may be successful, so that I may be free to visit you. (Rom. 15:14-33)  I wish to introduce to you our friend Phoebe. She renders admirable service to our congregation at Cenchrea. Do all you can for her; she deserves it.  Kind regards to Priscilla and Aquila, Epaenetus, Mary, and all friends in Rome.   (P.S.--Beware of folk who make mischief. Be wise; be gentle; and all good be with you.)  Timothy, Lucius, Jason, Sosipater, and all friends at Corinth send kind regards. (So do I--Tertius, amanuensis!)  Glory be to God!  With all good wishes,  Your brother,  PAUL, Missionary of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words have ruined more souls than any devil's agency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56886]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words have ruined more souls than any devil's agency.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The child of misery, baptized in tears! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42763]]></link><description><![CDATA[The child of misery, baptized in tears!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[It's a model that Alfred Hitchcock drew on for many of his movies.] If there was a film that inspired ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37555]]></link><description><![CDATA[[It's a model that Alfred Hitchcock drew on for many of his movies.] If there was a film that inspired me in writing 'Panic,' it was 'North by Northwest,' ...
