But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is the possibility of losing your hearing.

It was the sight of Thy dear cross First weaned my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem as dross The mirth of fools, and pomp of kings. I want that grace that springs from Thee, That quickens all things where it flows; And makes a wretched thorn like me Bloom as the myrtle or the rose. Dear fountain of delight unknown! No longer sink beneath the brim, But overflow, and pour me down A living and life-giving stream! For sure, if all the plants that share The notice of Thy Father's eye, None proves less grateful to His care, Or yields Him meaner fruit than I.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58842]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gross ignorance: 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gross ignorance: 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour.
