When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself. This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven. And this we may be sure is not only necessary, but attainable by us, or our Saviour would not have made it a part of our daily prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Restore to God His due in tithe and time; A tithe purloin'd cankers the whole estate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Restore to God His due in tithe and time; A tithe purloin'd cankers the whole estate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18076]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6014]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, what authority and show of truth Can cunning sin cover itself withal! -Much Ado about Nothing.

Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My father said: "You must never try to make all the money that's in a deal.
