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[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836  Let no one suppose that we may attain to this true light ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836  Let no one suppose that we may attain to this true light and perfect knowledge, or life of Christ, by much questioning, or by hearsay, or by reading and study, nor yet by high skill and great learning. Yea, so long as a man taketh account of anything which is this or that, whether it be himself, or any other creature; or doeth anything, or frameth a purpose, for the sake of his own likings or desires or opinions or ends, he cometh not unto the life of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  An essential part of the ordination exam ought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  An essential part of the ordination exam ought to be a passage from some recognized theological work set for translation into vulgar English -- just like doing Latin prose. Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test. If you can't turn your faith into it, then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I consider using the cell phone during driving a risk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28339]]></link><description><![CDATA[I consider using the cell phone during driving a risk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your time ain't come not even a doctor can kill you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23706]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your time ain't come not even a doctor can kill you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has continued to move, and I've got to assume right now it's about 55 (percent against) to 30 (in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31216]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has continued to move, and I've got to assume right now it's about 55 (percent against) to 30 (in favor), with the rest undecided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world today has a strong democratic core shaped by American ingenuity, sacrifice, and spirit.

But on the periphery are many unstable and dangerous places, where terrorists seek to impose a medieval dark age. As we learned so brutally and so personally, we do face a new threat. But we also face a renewed choice - between isolation in a perilous world, which I believe is impossible in any event, and engagement to shape a safer world which is the urgent imperative of our time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, 1253   Holy Orders is a vocation from God; it is not a profession which we enter expecting an advance, or some sort of recognition as a right after so many years of work. But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Frier preached against stealing, and had a goose in his sleeve. [The Friar preached against stealing, and had a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49857]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Frier preached against stealing, and had a goose in his sleeve. [The Friar preached against stealing, and had a goose in his sleeve.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death's pale flag advanced in his cheeks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death's pale flag advanced in his cheeks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marry, he must have a long spoon that must eat with the devil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marry, he must have a long spoon that must eat with the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have added a lot.
