Thus his stay had not been long enough for him to do more than teach the fundamental truths which seemed to him of the first importance: all the circumstances of his visit were still fresh in his memory and he was recalling to the minds of his readers what he had taught them by word of mouth. Now in that Epistle we get an extraordinarily clear and coherent account of simple mission-preaching not only implied but definitely expressed. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14296]]></link><description><![CDATA[From envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am pleased to return to finish the job that is undone.

Therefore, the true way for you to find Christ is not to go groping in a thousand books. It is not for you to try evidences about a thousand things that people have believed of Him, but it is for you to undertake so great a life, so devoted a life, so pure a life, so serviceable a life, that you cannot do it except by Christ, and then see whether Christ helps you. See then whether there comes to you the certainty that you are a child of God, and the manifestation of the child of God becomes the most credible, the most certain thing to you in all of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't really know him (Matthews).
