Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796   Here you have the true reason why ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796   Here you have the true reason why revenge or vengeance is not allowed to man: it is because vengeance can only work in the evil or disordered properties of fallen nature. But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear, Land o' Cakes, and brither Scots, Frae Maidenkirk to Johnie Groat's;-  If there's a hole in a' your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear, Land o' Cakes, and brither Scots, Frae Maidenkirk to Johnie Groat's;-  If there's a hole in a' your coats,   I rede you tent it:    A chield's amang you takin notes,     And, faith, he'll prent it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is nothing but a great aptitude for patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is nothing but a great aptitude for patience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the press, which arguably was cowed by the (Bush) administration in the run-up to the war with Iraq, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39838]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the press, which arguably was cowed by the (Bush) administration in the run-up to the war with Iraq, was certainly not cowed in covering the aftermath of Katrina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He knows the strike zone, makes a lot of contact and doesn't swing at bad pitches.
