You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No tye can oblige the perfidious. [No tie can oblige the perfidious.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49656]]></link><description><![CDATA[No tye can oblige the perfidious. [No tie can oblige the perfidious.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is the behavior people take under the pressure of survival.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance,by a desire to control oil wealth, bya desire to implant our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18299]]></link><description><![CDATA[This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance,by a desire to control oil wealth, bya desire to implant our programs.on the Diane Rehm Show.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would not vote for the mayor.

And, in that case, we ought frankly to affirm that, though the New Testament is an amazing witness to the religious creativity of the human spirit, its actual message is more wrong than right, more misleading than helpful; and we must reconstruct our gospel accordingly. Only a weak, muddled, or cowardly mind will hesitate to do this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ is our Passover! And we will keep the feast  With the new leaven,   The bread of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christ is our Passover! And we will keep the feast  With the new leaven,   The bread of heaven:    All welcome, even the least!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with theidea of a cathedral in mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22773]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with theidea of a cathedral in mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22773</guid></item></channel></rss>
