It finds men's worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God's worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication. It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God's love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a major dream come true at last.

"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By appreciation, we make excellence in others our own property. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64663]]></link><description><![CDATA[By appreciation, we make excellence in others our own property.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation's tears in shoulder blades.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the world's enjoyments That ever valued were,  There's none of our employments   With fishing can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the world's enjoyments That ever valued were,  There's none of our employments   With fishing can compare.   - Thomas Durfee (or D'Urfey),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16108</guid></item></channel></rss>
