Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I moved here I had a two bedroom, simple, 900 square feet, and rent was eight to nine hundred. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39901]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I moved here I had a two bedroom, simple, 900 square feet, and rent was eight to nine hundred.

We have no reason to mistrust the New Testament assurance. The Easter message and the historical Jesus are joined by a bridge resting on many piers. Jesus proclaimed the good news of the presence of God who, like a forgiving father, seeks his lost children and grants even sinners the company of the Redeemer; the disciples preached the Gospel of Christ, who appeared as saviour and died on the cross for sinners. In the Holy Spirit Jesus drove out unclean spirits and conquered Satan; from Easter onwards he was extolled as the Lord of all spirits, who gives the Holy Spirit to believers and in him is ever present with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bottom line is, he's not in custody yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31590]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bottom line is, he's not in custody yet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be thou the rainbow to the storms of life! The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,  And tints ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be thou the rainbow to the storms of life! The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,  And tints to-morrow with prophetic ray!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's a health to you and yours who have done such things for us and ours. And when we and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's a health to you and yours who have done such things for us and ours. And when we and ours have it in our powers to do for you and yours what you and yours have done for us and ours,  Then we and ours will do for you and yours what you and yours have done for us and ours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never tell me the odds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never tell me the odds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's been a real shot in the arm for the tie business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35655]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's been a real shot in the arm for the tie business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're back on schedule.
