Further, each local church is a church only in so far as it is the expression, in a particular place, of this new race that has come into the world through Christ Jesus. It is the mighty acts of God in Him that are the guarantee of our fellowship in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How his eyes languish! how his thoughts adore That painted coat, which Joseph never wore!  He shows, on holidays, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2772]]></link><description><![CDATA[How his eyes languish! how his thoughts adore That painted coat, which Joseph never wore!  He shows, on holidays, a sacred pin,   That touch'd the ruff, that touched Queen Bess' chin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He won't run if there is more rain.

If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44243]]></link><description><![CDATA[We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the sinner has a right to preach ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48061]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the sinner has a right to preach]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even though I felt like crying, I did my very best to smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even though I felt like crying, I did my very best to smile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16499]]></link><description><![CDATA[We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's three words that describes baseball 'You never know.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38008]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's three words that describes baseball 'You never know.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can remember way back when a liberal was one who was generous with his own money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24654]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can remember way back when a liberal was one who was generous with his own money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're a great group of guys.

If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I started out with comedy in college, but had my major in Recreation Administration - which meant I wasn't going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31017]]></link><description><![CDATA[I started out with comedy in college, but had my major in Recreation Administration - which meant I wasn't going to get a real job - so I started doing a little standup.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you're going out.

And if your prayer is only a form of words, made by the skill of other people, such a prayer can no more change you into a good man, than an actor upon the stage, who speaks kingly language, is thereby made to be a king: whereas one thought, or word, or look, towards God, proceeding from your own heart, can never be without its proper fruit, or fail of doing a real good to your soul. Again, another great and infallible benefit of this kind of prayer is this; it is the only way to be delivered from the deceitfulness of your own hearts.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The music, and the banquet, and the wine-- The garlands, the rose odors, and the flowers,  The sparkling eyes, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The music, and the banquet, and the wine-- The garlands, the rose odors, and the flowers,  The sparkling eyes, and flashing ornaments--   The white arms and the raven hair--the braids,    And bracelets; swan-like bosoms, and the necklace,     An India in itself, yet dazzling not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curiosity . . . endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in cheerful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17259]]></link><description><![CDATA[Curiosity . . . endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in cheerful willingness to let life take the form it will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had Cain been Scot, God would have changed his doom Nor forced him wander, but confine him home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had Cain been Scot, God would have changed his doom Nor forced him wander, but confine him home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A 'C' effort at best.
