But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bring in great logs and let them lie To make a solid core of heat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51691]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bring in great logs and let them lie To make a solid core of heat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They never fail who die in a great cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21753]]></link><description><![CDATA[They never fail who die in a great cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One German makes a philosopher, two a public meeting, three a war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19374]]></link><description><![CDATA[One German makes a philosopher, two a public meeting, three a war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes party loyalty asks too much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes party loyalty asks too much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Big things have small beginnings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Big things have small beginnings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There lies more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half thecreeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21920]]></link><description><![CDATA[There lies more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half thecreeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's still frustrating to us that a national environmental organization that's never seen it or knows nothing about it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37881]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's still frustrating to us that a national environmental organization that's never seen it or knows nothing about it is trying to preserve a piece of land that's got oil wells all over it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song;  But the man worth while is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56692]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song;  But the man worth while is the one who will smile   When everything does dead wrong;    For the test of the heart is trouble,     And it always comes with the years,      But the smile that is worth the praise of earth       Is the smile that comes through tears.        . . . .         But the virtue that conquers passion,          And the sorrow that hides in a smile--           It is these that are worth the homage of earth,            For we find them but once in a while.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man once asked to shake hands with me, the "greatest Englishman who ever lived."

The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind.

It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned not to blink in a close-up or move your head at all, because if you did, they wouldn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35101]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned not to blink in a close-up or move your head at all, because if you did, they wouldn't use it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one theory about angling in which I have perfect confidence, and this is that the two words, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16115]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one theory about angling in which I have perfect confidence, and this is that the two words, least appropriate to any statement, about it, are the words "always" and "never."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How goes the enemy? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27656]]></link><description><![CDATA[How goes the enemy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44849]]></link><description><![CDATA[No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44849</guid></item></channel></rss>
