How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5969]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like birds, whose beauties languish half concealed, Till, mounted on the wing, their glossy plumes  Expanded, shine with azure, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like birds, whose beauties languish half concealed, Till, mounted on the wing, their glossy plumes  Expanded, shine with azure, green and gold;   How blessings brighten as they take their flight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are made to persist.

There are siren voices (as well as gut reactions) telling Christians that the way to success in evangelism is to follow the natural divisions, and to try to build churches along cultural, social and racial divisions. In doing so, they ignore the "success" in the New Testament in crossing these lines; more importantly, they are in fact stressing success more highly than the truth of the gospel. To buy success at the price of treating the fundamental nature of the gospel as dispensable is to follow a false gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6334</guid></item></channel></rss>
