([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carve your name in hearts, not marble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Carve your name in hearts, not marble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inspiration of the almighty gives man understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21124]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inspiration of the almighty gives man understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958   If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past should be a springboard not a hammock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21705]]></link><description><![CDATA[The past should be a springboard not a hammock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3988]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57265]]></link><description><![CDATA[What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou unassuming Commonplace Of Nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou unassuming Commonplace Of Nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The race went well but the start was difficult.

Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".
