He is the Spirit of life, both now and hereafter (Gal. 6:8; I Cor. 15:45); and the Spirit of assurance, the guarantee of the new life, whereby man obtains confidence towards God and courage in the face of the world's evil (II Cor. 1:22; Rom. 5:5, 8:16, 23; Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Man, therefore, as the dwelling-place of the Spirit, is the inalienable possession of God (I Cor. 3:16, 17, 6:19). (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2138]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born To Be Alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born To Be Alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! do not attack me with your watch.

They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27138]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Non-violence is not inaction.
