Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashier's office. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19879]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashier's office.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19241]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23436]]></link><description><![CDATA[For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56922]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things always happen in series. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things always happen in series.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43223]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jake did a great job.

When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have always been praying for India-Pakistan friendship and I think now those prayers are being answered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36728]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have always been praying for India-Pakistan friendship and I think now those prayers are being answered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9292]]></link><description><![CDATA[The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9292</guid></item></channel></rss>
