O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute.

St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Humph!' grunted Mr. Romford, seeing his worst fears about to be realized.

But if this verse ("'They hated me without a cause." Ps. 69:4) occurred to Jesus as describing his enemies, surely he was also identifying with the rest of [Psalm 69] with its vivid description of overwhelming troubles and importune cries to God for deliverance.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He calls drunkenness an expression identical with ruin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22918]]></link><description><![CDATA[He calls drunkenness an expression identical with ruin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of a man -- the biography of the man himself cannot be written. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of a man -- the biography of the man himself cannot be written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One religion is as true as another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53470]]></link><description><![CDATA[One religion is as true as another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told [GM] Roland Hemond to go out and get me a big name pitcher.

Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item></channel></rss>
