No amount of air-conditioning and pew-cusioning in the suburban church can cover over the hard truth that the Christian life... is a narrow way of suffering; that discipleship is costly: that, for the faithful, there is always a cross to be carried.

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66084]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the cock with lively din Scatters the rear of darkness thin,  And to the stack or the barn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8937]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the cock with lively din Scatters the rear of darkness thin,  And to the stack or the barn door   Stoutly struts his dames before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the aborigine drafted an IQ test, all of Western civilization would presumably flunk it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27703]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the aborigine drafted an IQ test, all of Western civilization would presumably flunk it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's clear from extensive research is that most people do not get digestive changes from eating Olean snacks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36052]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's clear from extensive research is that most people do not get digestive changes from eating Olean snacks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who has not marveled at the might of kings  When voyaging down the river of dead years?
