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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no church in which the demon will not have his chapel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8683]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no church in which the demon will not have his chapel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deep experience is never peaceful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deep experience is never peaceful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55674]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness. -As You Like It.

But, strictly speaking, the great thing to see is that God has accepted Christ. He took our sins upon Himself, died to make propitiation (the sacrifice which removed the anger of God) for them. But God raised Him from the dead and has taken Him up to glory. God has accepted Christ in token of His perfect satisfaction in His work. Believing this, the soul enters into peace. I simply rest in God’s thoughts about His son.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact that slaughter [battle] is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously, but [it does] not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47403]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact that slaughter [battle] is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously, but [it does] not provide an excuse for gradually blunting our swords in the name of humanity.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One real world is enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62221]]></link><description><![CDATA[One real world is enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46082]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort of person you are. -C.
