This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have beaten off a lot of competition from other clubs to secure Martin's signature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42706]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have beaten off a lot of competition from other clubs to secure Martin's signature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do, I said, "You get somebody else--or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62098]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lord had a job for me, but I had so much to do, I said, "You get somebody else--or wait till I get through."  I don't know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along:   But I felt kinda sneakin' like, 'cause I know'd I done Him wrong.    One day I needed the Lord--Needed Him myself--needed Him right away,     And He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say      Down in my accusin' heart, "Nigger, I'se got too much to do,       You get somebody else or wait till I get through."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Actually, I have only two things to worry about now: afterlife and reincarnation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Actually, I have only two things to worry about now: afterlife and reincarnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Values are not just words, values are what we live by.

To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O visions ill foreseen!
