You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a great, great relaxant at the end of the day to come in and get my aggression out and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29157]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a great, great relaxant at the end of the day to come in and get my aggression out and leave it here.

Therefore, the true way for you to find Christ is not to go groping in a thousand books. It is not for you to try evidences about a thousand things that people have believed of Him, but it is for you to undertake so great a life, so devoted a life, so pure a life, so serviceable a life, that you cannot do it except by Christ, and then see whether Christ helps you. See then whether there comes to you the certainty that you are a child of God, and the manifestation of the child of God becomes the most credible, the most certain thing to you in all of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think you're free, there's no escape possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think you're free, there's no escape possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard professing Christians of our own day speak as though the historicity of the Gospels does not matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have heard professing Christians of our own day speak as though the historicity of the Gospels does not matter -- all that matters is the contemporary Spirit of Christ. I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the elimination of the unnecessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone, And still a new to-morrow does come on.  We by to-morrow draw out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone, And still a new to-morrow does come on.  We by to-morrow draw out all our store,   Till the exhausted well can yield no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our fervent hope is it brings some peace, comfort or satisfaction to the victims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our fervent hope is it brings some peace, comfort or satisfaction to the victims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think halfway through the first we played a lot better.
