First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great things rush to the destruction of each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great things rush to the destruction of each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that lends, gives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49372]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that lends, gives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of the people who were at that board meeting, can I see a show of hands of those who heard ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of the people who were at that board meeting, can I see a show of hands of those who heard her cuss me out?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My toughest fight was with my first wife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57712]]></link><description><![CDATA[My toughest fight was with my first wife.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To seek these things is lost labour; Geese in an oyle pot, fat Hogs among Jews, and Wine in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50013]]></link><description><![CDATA[To seek these things is lost labour; Geese in an oyle pot, fat Hogs among Jews, and Wine in a fishing net.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By Hercules!

Liberty, peace, and joy are correlative factors in the same moment of experience, and they are all attributed to the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:2,6; 14:17; Gal. 5:22,23; 1 Thess. 1:6). In the allegory of Abraham's two sons, Paul contrasts the state of bondage under the Law with that of liberty under grace, and defines the one as being after the flesh, but the other after the Spirit (Gal. 4:21-29)... The first great moment of the new life, whether it be called justification by faith, the realization of sonship, or peace with God, is a work of the Holy Spirit, through the preaching of the Word. But [Paul] does not indicate... the exact logical or historical sequence of the various elements in the experience, and it may be doubted whether he would have entertained any idea of sequence within the complex experience of justification. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63248]]></link><description><![CDATA[The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15845]]></link><description><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think Brad and I have fed off each other our whole careers, and to see him win like that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30255]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think Brad and I have fed off each other our whole careers, and to see him win like that just inspires me even more, ...
