This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea of "conviction" is complex.

Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings.

And unexpressed feelings comeforth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are thereincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment anddisillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rageor anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are otherembodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing,not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects thequality of their relationships with others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By broadening their programming (with more entertainment-oriented shows) and still keeping it under the legal drama umbrella that their niche ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30405]]></link><description><![CDATA[By broadening their programming (with more entertainment-oriented shows) and still keeping it under the legal drama umbrella that their niche is, they've been able to generate higher ratings.
