Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Residents of low-lying areas, mobile homes and tents should reach higher ground now.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the mother's yearning, that completest type of the life in another life which is the essence of real human ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62477]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the mother's yearning, that completest type of the life in another life which is the essence of real human love, feels the presence of the cherished child even in the debased, degraded man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62477</guid></item></channel></rss>
