It is certainly important to have an intellectual grasp of the orb of Christian truth; but it is still more important to have a vital, living experience of the power of Jesus Christ. When a man undergoes treatment from a doctor, he does not need to know the way in which the drug works on his body in order to be cured. There is a sense in which Christianity is like that. At the heart of Christianity there is a mystery, but it is not the mystery of intellectual appreciation; it the mystery of redemption.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Four things does a reckless man gain who covets his neighbor's wife - demerit, an uncomfortable bed, thirdly, punishment, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Four things does a reckless man gain who covets his neighbor's wife - demerit, an uncomfortable bed, thirdly, punishment, and lastly, hell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what other men say in whole books - what other men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4888]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what other men say in whole books - what other men do not say in whole books.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think you're free, there's no escape possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think you're free, there's no escape possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the sweet apple which reddens upon the topmost bough, A-top on the topmost twig--which the pluckers forgot, somehow--  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the sweet apple which reddens upon the topmost bough, A-top on the topmost twig--which the pluckers forgot, somehow--  Forgot it not, nay, but got it not, for none could get it till now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Easter Because upon the first glad Easter day The stone that sealed His tomb was rolled away, So, through the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Easter Because upon the first glad Easter day The stone that sealed His tomb was rolled away, So, through the deepening shadows of death's night, Men see an open door ... beyond it, light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY Jesus came! - and came for me.

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever.
