We cannot form a conception of Eternal Life. What we imagine is ever simply of the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus Christ. In him we realize that we were created for the eternal life. If we ask, what is this eternal life? what sense is there in thinking about it if we can have no conception of it?, the answer is, "It is life with God, in God, from God; life in perfect fellowship." Therefore it is a life in love, it is love itself. It is a life without the nature of death and sin, hence without sorrow, pain, anxiety, care, misery. To know this suffices to make one rejoice in eternal life. If there were no eternal life, this life of time would be without meaning, goal, or purpose, without significance, without seriousness and without joy. It would be nothing. That our life does not end in nothing, but that eternal life awaits us, is the glad message of Jesus Christ. He came to give us this promise as a light in this dark world. A Christian is a man who has become certain of eternal life through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The church must be the critic and guide of the state, and never its tool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The church must be the critic and guide of the state, and never its tool.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2301]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love of country is like love of woman--he loves her best who seeks to bestow on her the highest good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love of country is like love of woman--he loves her best who seeks to bestow on her the highest good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All you have to do is watch the first minute and a half of the new season, and you know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31569]]></link><description><![CDATA[All you have to do is watch the first minute and a half of the new season, and you know there's no other show like it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If this trend continues, we believe it could encourage customers to either rebook at lower room rates or at least ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33081]]></link><description><![CDATA[If this trend continues, we believe it could encourage customers to either rebook at lower room rates or at least hold out until the last minute to book rooms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22905]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But all (underclassmen) have a little chip on their shoulder.

If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Martha Stewart stuffed and roasted canaries and found theycould no longer sing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Martha Stewart stuffed and roasted canaries and found theycould no longer sing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not true.
