This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When mighty roast beef was the Englishman's food It ennobled our hearts and enriched our blood--  Our soldiers were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13191]]></link><description><![CDATA[When mighty roast beef was the Englishman's food It ennobled our hearts and enriched our blood--  Our soldiers were brave and our courtiers were good.   Oh! the roast beef of England.    And Old England's roast beef.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like plants in mines, which never saw the sun, But dream of him, and guess where he may be,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like plants in mines, which never saw the sun, But dream of him, and guess where he may be,  And do the best to climb, and get to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lebanese, during their uprising, went too far, as they put in question all police regimes in the Arab world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34380]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lebanese, during their uprising, went too far, as they put in question all police regimes in the Arab world which risked to reflect badly on Syria.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18374]]></link><description><![CDATA[The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Renouncement: the heroism of mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Renouncement: the heroism of mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because gratification of a desire leads to the temporary stilling of the mind and the experience of the peaceful, joyful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because gratification of a desire leads to the temporary stilling of the mind and the experience of the peaceful, joyful Self it's no wonder that we get hooked on thinking that happiness comes from the satisfaction of desires.

His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Walls have tongues, and hedges ears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Walls have tongues, and hedges ears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes, you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and what you want ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes, you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and what you want to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To wish to be well is a part of becoming well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18912]]></link><description><![CDATA[To wish to be well is a part of becoming well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first symptom of love in a young man is timidity; in a girl boldness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64660]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first symptom of love in a young man is timidity; in a girl boldness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is the wisdom of women.
