For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61867]]></link><description><![CDATA[A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What has poster'ty done for us, That we, lest they their rights should lose,  Should trust our necks to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47853]]></link><description><![CDATA[What has poster'ty done for us, That we, lest they their rights should lose,  Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you shall not have both ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23396]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you shall not have both]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good wife is heaven's last, best gift to man, - his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23274]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good wife is heaven's last, best gift to man, - his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels; her voice is sweet music, her smiles his brightest day, her kiss the guardian of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safety...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14147]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idealist believes the short run doesn't count.

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["O Charidas, what of the underworld?" "Great darkness."  "And what of the resurrection?"   "A lie."   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43170]]></link><description><![CDATA["O Charidas, what of the underworld?" "Great darkness."  "And what of the resurrection?"   "A lie."    "And Pluto?"     "A fable; we perish utterly."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A certain amount of distrust is wholesome, but not so much of others as of ourselves; neither vanity not conceit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12576]]></link><description><![CDATA[A certain amount of distrust is wholesome, but not so much of others as of ourselves; neither vanity not conceit can exist in the same atmosphere with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Hercules himself must yield to odds; And many strokes, though with a little axe,  Hews down and fells ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46167]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Hercules himself must yield to odds; And many strokes, though with a little axe,  Hews down and fells the hardest-timbered oak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Defensively, I thought we played pretty well with the exception of a couple plays.

In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communism is the death of the soul.
