Too often, alas, conversion has been the end as well as the beginning, with the result that some Christians have looked back, with mingled delight and wistfulness to a past event that now seems to have diminished relevance to daily living. We can fully understand, then, the appeal of a movement which promises a new dimension of Christian living, there in the New Testament, and now available in everyday experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion of himself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion of himself]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13415]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Would you know what mony is, Go borrow some. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Would you know what mony is, Go borrow some.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced. It is certainly important to have an intellectual grasp of the orb of Christian truth; but it is still more important to have a vital, living experience of the power of Jesus Christ. When a man undergoes treatment from a doctor, he does not need to know the way in which the drug works on his body in order to be cured. There is a sense in which Christianity is like that. At the heart of Christianity there is a mystery, but it is not the mystery of intellectual appreciation; it the mystery of redemption.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell is a half-filled auditorium. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell is a half-filled auditorium.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Valor consists in the power of self recovery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Valor consists in the power of self recovery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57217]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[DEATH LEAVES A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL, LOVE LEAVES LIVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4150]]></link><description><![CDATA[DEATH LEAVES A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL, LOVE LEAVES LIVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abuse is the weapon of the vulgar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abuse is the weapon of the vulgar]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27981]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Free speech is not to be regulated like diseased cattle and impure butter.

The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear-- In woman's eye the unanswerable tear!  That weapon of her weakness she can wield,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear-- In woman's eye the unanswerable tear!  That weapon of her weakness she can wield,   To save, subdue--at once her spear and shield.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66846]]></link><description><![CDATA[The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A master of straw eates a servant of steele. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49061]]></link><description><![CDATA[A master of straw eates a servant of steele.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High in his chariot glow'd the lamp of day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58287]]></link><description><![CDATA[High in his chariot glow'd the lamp of day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  One hundred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7035]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  One hundred worshipers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become "unity" conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970   If Religion has raised us into a new world, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970   If Religion has raised us into a new world, if it has filled us with new ends of life, if it has taken possession of our hearts, and altered the whole turn of our minds, if it has changed all our ideas of things, given us a new set of hopes and fears, and taught us to live by the realities of an invisible world -- then we may humbly hope that we are true followers of the Holy Jesus, and such as may rejoice in the Day of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fundamentalist religion is the most pervasive vision of central planning, though many fundamentalists may oppose human central planning as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fundamentalist religion is the most pervasive vision of central planning, though many fundamentalists may oppose human central planning as a usurpation or "playing God."
