For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it." My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought, that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had my way I'd make health catching instead of disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12509]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I had my way I'd make health catching instead of disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Food, one assumes, provides nourishment; but Americans eat it fully aware that small amounts of poison have been added to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Food, one assumes, provides nourishment; but Americans eat it fully aware that small amounts of poison have been added to improve its appearance and delay its putrefaction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Am I calm all the time?

Yet there was a case, in which David found an ease, to fall into the hands of God, to scape the hands of men: When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearefull thing, to fall into the hands of the living God; but to fall out of the hands of the living God, is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A psychiatrist is a person who will give you expensive answers that your wife will give you for free ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51984]]></link><description><![CDATA[A psychiatrist is a person who will give you expensive answers that your wife will give you for free]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  The Spirit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752  The Spirit guided the Church in the creation of organization and officers (Acts 6:3, 20:28). The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item></channel></rss>
