How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, what may man within him hide, Though angel on the outward side! -Measure for Measure.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We now know that [this issue] is very important to them and we know a large majority of them want ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40256]]></link><description><![CDATA[We now know that [this issue] is very important to them and we know a large majority of them want to gradually reduce the number of troops that we have in Iraq.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger, tears and sadness are only for those who have given up ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger, tears and sadness are only for those who have given up]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The court is like a palace built of marble; I mean that it is made up of very hard but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54480]]></link><description><![CDATA[The court is like a palace built of marble; I mean that it is made up of very hard but very polished people. [Fr., La cour est comme un edifice bati de marbre; je veux dire qu'elle est composee d'hommes fort durs mais fort polis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have faith in the boys.

For when the heart really pants and longs after God, its prayer is a praying, as moved and animated by the Spirit of God; it is the breath or inspiration of God, stirring, moving and opening itself in the heart. For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having seen and felt the end, you have willed the means to the realizationof the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having seen and felt the end, you have willed the means to the realizationof the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hoy-day! What a sweep of vanity comes this way! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hoy-day! What a sweep of vanity comes this way!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18059]]></link><description><![CDATA[My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft-heartedness, in times like these, Shows sof'ness in the upper story! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft-heartedness, in times like these, Shows sof'ness in the upper story!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the only time of year I wish I was back in the pro shop.
