It’s not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, Do you remember that night we...? But you don’t have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives.

That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continued from yesterday:  This is Paul's meaning.

The state of slavery described in Romans 7 is a slavery to wrong desires; not merely to "flesh" in the abstract, as implying our material nature and environment, but to the "mind of the flesh" -- the lower nature and environment made a part of one's conscious self. What the Law could not do, God has done by the gift of the Spirit of Christ: He has given the victory to the higher self. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." (II Cor. 3:17) "The Law of the Spirit -- the law of a life in communion with Christ Jesus -- has made me free from the law of sin and death." (Rom. 8:2) Whereas life was a hopeless struggle, it now becomes a struggle in which the handicap is removed, and victory already secured in principle, because God has come into the life. The Law was external; it was the taskmaster set over against the troubled and fettered will of man. The Spirit is within, the mind of the Spirit is the mind of the man himself, and from within works out a growing perfection of life which satisfies the real longing of the soul. In the full sense freedom is still an object of hope; but the liberty already attained makes possible the building up of a Christian morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We tried to keep Sastre up front ahead of the climb, where it all exploded, ...

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who holds the ladder is as bad as the thief ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59068]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who holds the ladder is as bad as the thief]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Books," said St. Augustine after his conversion, "could not teach me charity."

We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People may or may not say what they mean ... but they always say something designed to get what they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2221]]></link><description><![CDATA[People may or may not say what they mean ... but they always say something designed to get what they want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The swan, with arched neck Between her white wings mantling proudly, rows  Her state with oary feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58455]]></link><description><![CDATA[The swan, with arched neck Between her white wings mantling proudly, rows  Her state with oary feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I open many books, or most leading women's magazines, or see almost all TV shows, I don't find myself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64945]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I open many books, or most leading women's magazines, or see almost all TV shows, I don't find myself at all.

This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63247]]></link><description><![CDATA[First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suck, baby! suck! mother's love grows by giving: Drain the sweet founts that only thrive by wasting!  Black manhood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3639]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suck, baby! suck! mother's love grows by giving: Drain the sweet founts that only thrive by wasting!  Black manhood comes when riotous guilty living   Hands thee the cup that shall be death in tasting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Further improvement in earnings and additional declines in the unemployment rate is likely to boost overall confidence and keep consumption ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Further improvement in earnings and additional declines in the unemployment rate is likely to boost overall confidence and keep consumption strong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15953]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a certain sense all men are historians. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19321]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a certain sense all men are historians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His purity was too great, his aspiration too high for this poor, miserable world!
