In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A basic principle in the interpretation of the Bible is that one must first ask what a given Scripture was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629]]></link><description><![CDATA[A basic principle in the interpretation of the Bible is that one must first ask what a given Scripture was intended to mean to the people for whom it was originally written; only then is the interpreter free to ask what meaning it has for Christians today. Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26746]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the base of the eyelash is an invisiblemite.Ask not what your mite can do for youbut what you can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26637]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the base of the eyelash is an invisiblemite.Ask not what your mite can do for youbut what you can do for your mite.And remember, mite makes right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5936]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It can save your marriage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39473]]></link><description><![CDATA[It can save your marriage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those that know, do.

But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer.
