It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We could be on scene and see someone mistreat an animal and we couldn't arrest them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40406]]></link><description><![CDATA[We could be on scene and see someone mistreat an animal and we couldn't arrest them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do you ask, how long has he lived?

If we are not fit to cope with that which He has prepared for us, we would have been utterly unfit for any condition that we imagine for ourselves. We are to live and wrestle in this time, and in no other. Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62328]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He prayeth well who loveth well Both man and bird and beast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48054]]></link><description><![CDATA[He prayeth well who loveth well Both man and bird and beast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877   If our hopes, whatever we protest, really lie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877   If our hopes, whatever we protest, really lie in this world instead of in the eternal order, we shall find it difficult to accept the New Testament teaching of the Second Coming. In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The U.S. will continue to be our growth driver.
