The true way to test all the Books is to see whether they work the will of Christ or not. No Book which does not preach Christ can be apostolic, though Peter or Paul were its author.

But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see the better course and approve of it; I follow, alas! the worse! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50729]]></link><description><![CDATA[I see the better course and approve of it; I follow, alas! the worse!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13186]]></link><description><![CDATA[For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil's most devilish when respectable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12179]]></link><description><![CDATA[The devil's most devilish when respectable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prayer of Ajax was for light; Through all that dark and desperate fight,  The blackness of that noonday ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25059]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prayer of Ajax was for light; Through all that dark and desperate fight,  The blackness of that noonday night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you think that the work God gives us to do is never easy?

Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friendship that can end never really began ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10929]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friendship that can end never really began]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle  In the era of faith there is room for repentance, since each person can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle  In the era of faith there is room for repentance, since each person can decide freely for Christ; in the era of sight, when the reign of Christ is manifest, only judgment is left for the undecided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's extremely important for charitable organizations to make sure lawmakers have all the facts before them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33565]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's extremely important for charitable organizations to make sure lawmakers have all the facts before them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20371]]></link><description><![CDATA[He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compassion is no substitute for justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Compassion is no substitute for justice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vice is its own reward ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vice is its own reward]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists....
