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[Slackers aren't stupid, they are just too lazy to do anything about their situation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slackers aren't stupid, they are just too lazy to do anything about their situation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23966]]></link><description><![CDATA[A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah! what would the world be to us  If the children were no more?

In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we need is Star Peace and not Star Wars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44115]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we need is Star Peace and not Star Wars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54595]]></link><description><![CDATA[E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There may be said to be two classes of people in the world: those who constantly divide the people of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56953]]></link><description><![CDATA[There may be said to be two classes of people in the world: those who constantly divide the people of the world into two classes, and those who do not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387  Christianity is pre-eminently the religion of the heart.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we need is to use what we have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44098]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we need is to use what we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In time there is no present, In eternity no future,  In eternity no past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14212]]></link><description><![CDATA[In time there is no present, In eternity no future,  In eternity no past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no time to make money, I am searching for the truth ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41029]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no time to make money, I am searching for the truth]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sweet disorder in the dresse Kindles in cloathes a wantonnesse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2737]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sweet disorder in the dresse Kindles in cloathes a wantonnesse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Globalization has altered the dynamics in the White House, as well as between the White House and the Treasury. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Globalization has altered the dynamics in the White House, as well as between the White House and the Treasury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63205]]></link><description><![CDATA[The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  If you have failings, ask ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  If you have failings, ask God often whether it be His honour and pleasure to take them away from you; for without Him you can do nothing.
