It was wonderful to touch one of them and think, Perhaps the Apostle Paul or one of the martyrs touched this as they passed. But how much more wonderful is it to think that we have, for our own use, the very same sword our Lord used when the Devil attacked Him. [Brooke Foss] Westcott says "the Word of God" in Ephesians 6:17 means "a definite utterance of God". We know these "definite utterances" -- we have the same Book that He had, and we can do as He did. So let us learn the "definite utterances" that they may be ready in our minds; ready for use at the moment of need -- our sword which never grows dull and rusty, but is always keen and bright. So once more I say, let us not expect defeat but victory. Let us take fast hold and keep fast hold of our sword, and we shall win in any assault of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43124]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exercising and eating a Mediterranean-style diet will improve your changes of staying healthy, regardless of your cholesterol, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exercising and eating a Mediterranean-style diet will improve your changes of staying healthy, regardless of your cholesterol,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make a happy fireside clime To weans and wife,  That's the true pathos and sublime   Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19609]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make a happy fireside clime To weans and wife,  That's the true pathos and sublime   Of human life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How we apples swim. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2950]]></link><description><![CDATA[How we apples swim.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberals feel unworthy of their possessions.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It started out incredible.
