Whilst men are under the power of actual impressions from such fears, they will convert to God, yea, they will turn in a moment, and perfect their holiness in an instant; but so soon as that impression wears off (as it will do on every occasion, and upon none at all) such persons are as dead and cold towards God as the lead or iron, which but now ran in a fiery stream, is now when the heat is departed from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew someone who remembers eating Sunday afternoon with their family then snapping out of it on Thursday while driving ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31728]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew someone who remembers eating Sunday afternoon with their family then snapping out of it on Thursday while driving home from work.

I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers ...

Having themselves been emancipated from the superstitions and slavery of a false doctrine and a harsh ecclesiastical government, it would be thought most natural that the Reformers and those who followed them should promptly turn their attention to spreading these glad tidings among non-Christian peoples; but here a strange anomaly is found in the fact that there had been hardly any period, in the entire history of the Christian Church, so destitute of any concerted effort to spread the gospel in heathen lands [as] just this period of the Reformation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the suppressed word is dangerous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the suppressed word is dangerous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe these are a solid set of figures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31606]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe these are a solid set of figures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60713]]></link><description><![CDATA[And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, sons of earth! attempt ye still to rise. By mountains pil'd on mountains to the skies?  Heav'n still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2338]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, sons of earth! attempt ye still to rise. By mountains pil'd on mountains to the skies?  Heav'n still with laughter the vain toil surveys,   And buries madmen in the heaps they raise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2338</guid></item></channel></rss>
