For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and electricity are one in the same, my dear.... if you do not feel the jolt in your soul ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love and electricity are one in the same, my dear.... if you do not feel the jolt in your soul every time a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt, then you're not really in love at all....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me who admires you and loves you, and I will tell you who you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me who admires you and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good and the wise lead quiet lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52812]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good and the wise lead quiet lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a woman in process.

And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that makes himself a sheep, shall be eat by the wolfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that makes himself a sheep, shall be eat by the wolfe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3544]]></link><description><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, 1932   I suppose these are the three main dangers to which ecclesiastical developments are liable: (1) The danger of undue accommodation to natural religion or to the indolence and superstitious tendencies of human nature, from which result undue and unguarded accretions upon Christian doctrine and perversions of it. (2) There is the danger of one-sidedness by accommodation to the particular tendencies of a particular age. (3) There is the danger of an arrested development, because ecclesiastical authority acting hastily or unguardedly solidifies the one-sidedness or undue accommodation of a particular moment of the Church into a premature and unjustifiable dogma. There is, I venture to think, for all these dangers one remedy, and one remedy only, and that the most old-fashioned; and yet it is with this that is bound up all that is most true, all that is most free, all that is most spiritual in the Church. The remedy to which I refer is the continual recurrence to the original pattern, the continual appeal to antiquity and Scripture. Such an appeal limits the dogmatic authority and in a sense the whole authority of the Church. But it is by the maintenance of this appeal, and only so, that you can safeguard what is, after all, the most important thing, that is, the real power of the Church to be true to its own best spirit, to reassert the original teaching in all its freedom and largeness of application, without being trammelled and contracted by the errors and narrownesses of particular periods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children learn to smile from their parents. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children learn to smile from their parents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The judge is condemned when the guilty is acquitted. [Lat., Judex damnatur cum nocens absolvitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51654]]></link><description><![CDATA[The judge is condemned when the guilty is acquitted. [Lat., Judex damnatur cum nocens absolvitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gossip is the art of saying nothing in such a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gossip is the art of saying nothing in such a way that leaves practically nothing unsaid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death will have his day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death will have his day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you reach the top, keep climbing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12710]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reach the top, keep climbing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't try to force chemistry between two people or else it may just blow up at you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't try to force chemistry between two people or else it may just blow up at you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1479</guid></item></channel></rss>
