But, strictly speaking, the great thing to see is that God has accepted Christ. He took our sins upon Himself, died to make propitiation (the sacrifice which removed the anger of God) for them. But God raised Him from the dead and has taken Him up to glory. God has accepted Christ in token of His perfect satisfaction in His work. Believing this, the soul enters into peace. I simply rest in God’s thoughts about His son.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58172]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of the intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations win and preserve the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on;  'Twas not given for thee alone,   Pass it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on;  'Twas not given for thee alone,   Pass it on;    Let it travel down the years,     Let it wipe another's tears,      'Till in Heaven the deed appears--       Pass it on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Nor will it take comfort in the thought that God is dead, or that mankind has come of age, or even in ecumenical negotiations for writing off Papal Infallibility against the validity of Anglican Orders. The only means of satisfying it remains that bread of life which Jesus offered, with the promise that those who are of it should never hunger again.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our God and soldiers we alike adore ev'n at the brink of danger; not before: After deliverance, both alike requited, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our God and soldiers we alike adore ev'n at the brink of danger; not before: After deliverance, both alike requited, Our God's forgotten, and our soldiers slighted]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This problem, too, will look simple after it is solved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9465]]></link><description><![CDATA[This problem, too, will look simple after it is solved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to take a really hard look at transit -- something that's not mandated, but optional. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38544]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had to take a really hard look at transit -- something that's not mandated, but optional.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In most countries, major gaming companies are moving into position to participate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39805]]></link><description><![CDATA[In most countries, major gaming companies are moving into position to participate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love vast libraries; yet there is a doubt, If one be better with them or without,--  Unless he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24772]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love vast libraries; yet there is a doubt, If one be better with them or without,--  Unless he use them wisely, and, indeed,   Knows the high art of what and how to read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More than any other time in history, mankind faces a cross-roads.

Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like: His mighty steed was fast as the wind, on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three, any loose talk about a beloved having a face that could launch a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed own a very large seaport. Patrician Olaf II was eventually killed during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb The Pen is mightier than the Sword.In his memory it was decided that the proverb would from now on include the phrase: only if the Sword is very small and the Pen very sharp.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24591</guid></item></channel></rss>
