He hath carried us up to heaven & set us at the right hand of God, & shall not we endeavour to carry him to those nations, who have not yet heard of his name? Shall we still brag that we have brought our clothes, and our hatchets, and our knives, and bread to this and this value and estimation amongst those poor ignorant Souls, and shall we never glory that we have brought the name, and Religion of Christ Jesus in estimation amongst them? Shall we stay till other nations have planted a false Christ among them? And then either continue in our sloth, or take more pains in rooting out a false Christ than would have planted the true?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50849]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nineteenth century planted the words which the twentieth century ripened into the atrocities of Stalin and Hitler.

But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People that hate cats, will come back as mice in their next life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5307]]></link><description><![CDATA[People that hate cats, will come back as mice in their next life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are like stained-glass windows.
