But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  If indeed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7726]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  If indeed there had been anything better and more profitable to the health of men than to suffer, Christ would surely have shown it by word and example.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good newes may bee told at any time, but ill in the morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good newes may bee told at any time, but ill in the morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As adults, we must ask more of our children than they know how to ask of themselves.
