But we have infinitely more than this, for instead of dead relics, however "authentic" and well preserved, we have a living life-line, stretching unbroken to Christ Himself. We have all the comfort and security that comes from historic tradition, but instead of being given the sad nostalgia of looking at an object and saying, "Look, how wonderful! This is what He touched then," we are given an evergreen memorial [in communion] which says, "This is what He touches now.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cry out upon the stars for doing Ill offices, to cross their wooing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cry out upon the stars for doing Ill offices, to cross their wooing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the fish had not opened its mouth, it would not have been caught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50994]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the fish had not opened its mouth, it would not have been caught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I distrust those sentiments that are too far removed from nature, and whose sublimity is blended with ridicule; which two ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54215]]></link><description><![CDATA[I distrust those sentiments that are too far removed from nature, and whose sublimity is blended with ridicule; which two are as near one another as extreme wisdom and folly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can't suffer all the misery he wants in that time, he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can't suffer all the misery he wants in that time, he must be numb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13160]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't go to work unless I feel I really have a story that would be interesting to tell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29600]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't go to work unless I feel I really have a story that would be interesting to tell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can read all the manuals on prayer and listen to other people pray, but until you begin to pray ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6354]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can read all the manuals on prayer and listen to other people pray, but until you begin to pray yourself you will never understand prayer. 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[It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46295]]></link><description><![CDATA[It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man's hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to be the first team in the state of North Carolina to win a national championship in football. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31874]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to be the first team in the state of North Carolina to win a national championship in football.
