We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't sweep other people off their feet, if you can't be swept off your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64217]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't sweep other people off their feet, if you can't be swept off your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press.

The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The official spokesperson is the most anonymous source of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66264]]></link><description><![CDATA[The official spokesperson is the most anonymous source of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've played a lot of games and there's not a lot of guys who have been through this before.
