We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64137]]></link><description><![CDATA[O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth men's minds to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds to religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53493]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth men's minds to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds to religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resist no temptation: a guilty conscience is more honorable than regret ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resist no temptation: a guilty conscience is more honorable than regret]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things do not change; we change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things do not change; we change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But since cause and effect is under the personal control of God, He can introduce into the situation other causes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7656]]></link><description><![CDATA[But since cause and effect is under the personal control of God, He can introduce into the situation other causes than the ones which we ourselves can control.
