In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My nightmares are usually about losing you.

Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ophelia is forecast to become a hurricane within the next 12 hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ophelia is forecast to become a hurricane within the next 12 hours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He appeared to have died on the night of June 11 after he was hog-tied and separated from the rest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34272]]></link><description><![CDATA[He appeared to have died on the night of June 11 after he was hog-tied and separated from the rest of the hostages.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48593]]></link><description><![CDATA[All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced that men did not know God. They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great wit to madness sure is near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great wit to madness sure is near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sciences may be learned by rote, but wisdom not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sciences may be learned by rote, but wisdom not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65714]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21610]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of the extensibility of the Scala InfoChannelÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â® platform we were able to integrate database information and the Vista software ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because of the extensibility of the Scala InfoChannelÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â® platform we were able to integrate database information and the Vista software system into a custom cinema experience unique in New Zealand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may all be inclined to think of man's countless foolish and selfish intentions, his twisted and mischievous words and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8570]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may all be inclined to think of man's countless foolish and selfish intentions, his twisted and mischievous words and deeds.
