Remember, once more, that this is a matter of life and death. I cannot help speaking urgently, for myself, for yourselves. "Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." That is to say, it is the deliberate verdict of the Lord Jesus that it is better not to have lived than not to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The conqueror and king in each one of us is the knower of truth.
