In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody drank, ...

There are siren voices (as well as gut reactions) telling Christians that the way to success in evangelism is to follow the natural divisions, and to try to build churches along cultural, social and racial divisions. In doing so, they ignore the "success" in the New Testament in crossing these lines; more importantly, they are in fact stressing success more highly than the truth of the gospel. To buy success at the price of treating the fundamental nature of the gospel as dispensable is to follow a false gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason, some come to learn and others come to teach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason, some come to learn and others come to teach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes, being strong means not holding back the tears but letting them fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes, being strong means not holding back the tears but letting them fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5424]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus ornament is but the guiled shore To a most dangerous sea. -The Merchant of Venice.

"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More than 90 percent of all the prisoners in our American prisons have been abused as children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/241]]></link><description><![CDATA[More than 90 percent of all the prisoners in our American prisons have been abused as children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/241</guid></item></channel></rss>
