The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People say Malala\'s voice is being sold to the world.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34]]></link><description><![CDATA[As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails toalways reach my destination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21780]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails toalways reach my destination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person.
