To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  I have seen and read somewhat of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  I have seen and read somewhat of the writings of learned men concerning the state of future glory; some of them are filled with excellent notions of truth, and elegancy of speech, whereby they cannot but much affect the minds of those who duly consider what they say. But -- I know not well whence it comes to pass -- the things spoken do not abide nor incorporate in our minds. They please and refresh for a little while, like a shower of rain in a dry season, that soaketh not unto the roots of things; the power of them doth not enter into us. Is it not from hence, that their notions of future things are not educed out of the experience which we have of the beginnings of them in this world? Yea, the soul is disturbed, not edified, in all contemplations of future glory, where things are proposed to it whereof in this life it hath neither foretaste, sense, experience, nor evidence. No man ought to look for anything in heaven, but what one way or other he hath some experience of in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some couples go over their budgets very carefully every month.

This creates a chasm between us that admittedly will be very hard to bridge ... Our job is not to give the public what they think they want because what they want changes or is wrong. Look at how it changed after 9/11. Before 9/11 the public was less interested, according to every survey, in Islam or international news. After 9/11, they asked, 'How come you didn't tell us more about Islam and what was going on?' What the public wants is more about Brad and Angelina.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More importantly, Arroyo and her defenders must stop attacking the Senate for its probes and allow the truth to come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31116]]></link><description><![CDATA[More importantly, Arroyo and her defenders must stop attacking the Senate for its probes and allow the truth to come out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To rise with the lark, and go to bed with the lamb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3883]]></link><description><![CDATA[To rise with the lark, and go to bed with the lamb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a good many real miseries in life that we cannot help smiling at, but they are the smiles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42759]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a good many real miseries in life that we cannot help smiling at, but they are the smiles that make wrinkles and not dimples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a power stronger than will.

Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This deal with Iran is probably the most apparent thing driving prices up.
