This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2192]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soccer players can do it for 90 minutes in all positions! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soccer players can do it for 90 minutes in all positions!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The military don't start wars.

Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more research we have, the better, ...
