Abraham and Moses not only lived in two uniquely different worlds, but no Old Testament editor tried in any way to soften the glaring contrasts between the two spiritual giants. Abraham had no Tabernacle, with its minute ritual and special clergy. Abraham was given nothing like the detailed code of life demanded by the Sinai Covenant. Abraham was not even furnished with the basic Ten Commandments. And yet, when we turn to the New Testament, it is Abraham who holds the place of honor, and not Moses! Abraham is mentioned over seventy times in the New Testament, and half of these are in the Gospels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In secret we met - In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive.

It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get dealt a set of cards in life, and just deal with them........no problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get dealt a set of cards in life, and just deal with them........no problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This dish of meat is too good for any but anglers, or very honest men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13284]]></link><description><![CDATA[This dish of meat is too good for any but anglers, or very honest men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At some point, when stretched so far, you break.
