For it is to this end that he brings his own body into subjection, that he may be able to serve others more sincerely and more freely... Thus it is impossible that he should take his ease in this life, and not work for the good of his neighbors, since he must needs speak, act, and converse among men, just as Christ... had His conversation among men... It is the part of a Christian to take care of his own body for the very purpose that by its soundness and wellbeing he may be enabled to labor... for the aid of those who are in want, that thus the stronger member may serve the weaker member, and we may be children of God, and busy for one another, bearing one another's burdens, and so fulfilling the law of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight has been present like an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44505]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned much more from defeat than I ever learned from winning ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11790]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned much more from defeat than I ever learned from winning]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget what you need to remember. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget what you need to remember.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each being is sacred -- meaning that each has inherent value that cannot be ranked in a hierarchy or compared ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each being is sacred -- meaning that each has inherent value that cannot be ranked in a hierarchy or compared to the value of another being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words are loaded pistols. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words are loaded pistols.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Horse and GroomA groom used to spend whole days in currycombing and rubbing down his Horse, but at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1544]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Horse and GroomA groom used to spend whole days in currycombing and rubbing down his Horse, but at the same time stole his oats and sold them for his own profit.

The sick and the ignorant were excluded. They were under the bondage of evil demons. "This people which knoweth not the law are accursed", was the common doctrine of Jews and Greeks. The philosophers addressed themselves only to the well-to-do, the intellectual, and the pure. To the mysteries were invited only those who had clean hands and sound understanding. It was a constant marvel to the heathen that the Christians called the sick and the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He may effect us directly by His Spirit, with the force of a thunderbolt, or He may choose to woo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7100]]></link><description><![CDATA[He may effect us directly by His Spirit, with the force of a thunderbolt, or He may choose to woo us gently by stirring up our conscience. But, in addition, God affects us by determining that in the universe certain causes shall bring about certain effects. Cause and effect is, therefore, the operation of God through normal channels rather than through special channels. We have our normal way of acting when we drive a car. We can more or less put it in "automatic pilot" while we carry on a conversation, but when an emergency arises, we take conscious personal control. I have a hunch that God has something for which this automatic pilot will serve as an illustration. That is, His routine way of operating is cause and effect, and He is in control of it, so that when cause and effect affects us, then God is affecting us. That is what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians when he says, "Do not kid yourself -- God is not blind. What you do, you will get paid for." The causes which we have set in operation by our own personal choices will inevitably bring about certain results. But God is involved because God makes cause and effect to work.
