Faith gives stability to our view of the universe. By faith we are convinced that our impressions of things without are not dreams or delusions, but, for us, true representations of our environment. By faith we are convinced that the signs of permanence, order, progress, which we observe in nature are true. By faith we are convinced that fellowship is possible with our fellow man and with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Working with great people makes you great; you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Working with great people makes you great; you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Conversion of Paul  The God of Pharisaism was like the God of the Deists, He stood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Conversion of Paul  The God of Pharisaism was like the God of the Deists, He stood aloof from the world He had made, and let law take its course. He did not here and now deal with sinful men. Paul lets us see how new and wonderful was the experience when God "flashed on his heart" in personal dealing with him. He had not suspected that God was like that. His theological studies had told him that God was loving and merciful; but he had thought this love and mercy were expressed once and for all in the arrangements He had made for Israel's blessedness... It was a new thing to be assured by an inward experience admitting of no further question that God loved him, and that the eternal mercy was a Father's free forgiveness of His erring child. This was the experience that Christ had brought him: he had seen the splendour of God's own love in the face of "the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fill the cup and fill the can, Have a rouse before the morn;  Every minute dies a man,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fill the cup and fill the can, Have a rouse before the morn;  Every minute dies a man,   Every minute one is born.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never made a mistake in grammar but one in my life and as soon as I done it I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18123]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never made a mistake in grammar but one in my life and as soon as I done it I seen it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[-Cel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55630]]></link><description><![CDATA[-Cel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort, is not fit to be deemed a scholar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58018]]></link><description><![CDATA[The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort, is not fit to be deemed a scholar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both togethergo to the making of genius.

All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17).
