It was wonderful to touch one of them and think, Perhaps the Apostle Paul or one of the martyrs touched this as they passed. But how much more wonderful is it to think that we have, for our own use, the very same sword our Lord used when the Devil attacked Him. [Brooke Foss] Westcott says "the Word of God" in Ephesians 6:17 means "a definite utterance of God". We know these "definite utterances" -- we have the same Book that He had, and we can do as He did. So let us learn the "definite utterances" that they may be ready in our minds; ready for use at the moment of need -- our sword which never grows dull and rusty, but is always keen and bright. So once more I say, let us not expect defeat but victory. Let us take fast hold and keep fast hold of our sword, and we shall win in any assault of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17112]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creative minds always have been known to survive any kind of badtraining. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creative minds always have been known to survive any kind of badtraining.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a 4-wheel-drive pickup type of guy.
