And even the cynical, the unbelieving and half-believing reader who goes with Christian to the end of the road must be a little shaken, may tremble to see something like a gate and also some of the glory of the place, and, glimpsing something of the company within the golden gates, may wish himself among them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have only a small flickering light to guide me in the darkness of a thick forest.

He did not here and now deal with sinful men. Paul lets us see how new and wonderful was the experience when God "flashed on his heart" in personal dealing with him. He had not suspected that God was like that. His theological studies had told him that God was loving and merciful; but he had thought this love and mercy were expressed once and for all in the arrangements He had made for Israel's blessedness... It was a new thing to be assured by an inward experience admitting of no further question that God loved him, and that the eternal mercy was a Father's free forgiveness of His erring child. This was the experience that Christ had brought him: he had seen the splendour of God's own love in the face of "the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have neither the pretension to solve all the problems of these deaf children nor the intention to sit down ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12356]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have neither the pretension to solve all the problems of these deaf children nor the intention to sit down and feel sorry for these poor children, knowing that we could have made a difference in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy is the homage which vice renders to virtue. [Fr., L'hypocrisie est un hommage que le vice rend a la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20226]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy is the homage which vice renders to virtue. [Fr., L'hypocrisie est un hommage que le vice rend a la vertu.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In arguing one should meet serious pleading with humor, and humor with serious pleading. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3053]]></link><description><![CDATA[In arguing one should meet serious pleading with humor, and humor with serious pleading.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Oakies left Oklahoma and moved to California, it raised the I.Q. of both states. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2444]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the Oakies left Oklahoma and moved to California, it raised the I.Q. of both states.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're a Thanksgiving dinner, but you don't like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11690]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're a Thanksgiving dinner, but you don't like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend like you're eating it, but instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball.
