His life is reproduced in their lives, so they also are servants. But this ministry is exercised in and towards the Church, so as to enable the Church itself to carry out the ministry of the Servant. The Messiah came as a Servant; his ministers are servants; and the Church he created is a Servant-Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Head Start plays a big role.

They do not prove beyond all question the existence of the God of the Bible. Furthermore, it must be remembered that man's mind, his thinking process, has been affected by his fall into sin. This means that there are definite limitations to God's revelation in nature. The problem is not in the revelation but in the receiver of the revelation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New Testament, for it is of full authority, and open to understanding by simple men, as to the points that are most needful to salvation. Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were the fastest cars produced in 1987.

Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's hand in yours -- what tenderness and power it arouses.

He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor ; spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what is your duty?
