Life is a process of becoming, and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish, to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable, especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it, is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is just the beginning, ...

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness comes when we stop complaining about the troubles we have and offer thanks for all the troubles we don't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness comes when we stop complaining about the troubles we have and offer thanks for all the troubles we don't have.

Liberty, peace, and joy are correlative factors in the same moment of experience, and they are all attributed to the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:2,6; 14:17; Gal. 5:22,23; 1 Thess. 1:6). In the allegory of Abraham's two sons, Paul contrasts the state of bondage under the Law with that of liberty under grace, and defines the one as being after the flesh, but the other after the Spirit (Gal. 4:21-29)... The first great moment of the new life, whether it be called justification by faith, the realization of sonship, or peace with God, is a work of the Holy Spirit, through the preaching of the Word. But [Paul] does not indicate... the exact logical or historical sequence of the various elements in the experience, and it may be doubted whether he would have entertained any idea of sequence within the complex experience of justification.

But -- I know not well whence it comes to pass -- the things spoken do not abide nor incorporate in our minds. They please and refresh for a little while, like a shower of rain in a dry season, that soaketh not unto the roots of things; the power of them doth not enter into us. Is it not from hence, that their notions of future things are not educed out of the experience which we have of the beginnings of them in this world? Yea, the soul is disturbed, not edified, in all contemplations of future glory, where things are proposed to it whereof in this life it hath neither foretaste, sense, experience, nor evidence. No man ought to look for anything in heaven, but what one way or other he hath some experience of in this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three women make a market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three women make a market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way taxes are, you might as well marry for love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58690]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way taxes are, you might as well marry for love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oft he that doth abide Is cause of his own paine,  But he that flieth in good tide  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oft he that doth abide Is cause of his own paine,  But he that flieth in good tide   Perhaps may fight again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wind moans, like a long wail from some despairing soul shut out in the awful storm! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61645]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wind moans, like a long wail from some despairing soul shut out in the awful storm!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're down 1-0 in a mini playoff series.
