By their emphasis upon the primacy of individual justification, they deny the immediate social character and impact of the justification of the Jews and Gentiles, and they obstruct or delay the changes in common life which belong to the "new creation".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why should I paint dead fish, onions and beer glasses?

You are surrendering to love, because God is Love, the cohesive force of the universe that connects us all. Surrender is not just a religious concept; it's a power tool for listening to the voice of your spirit and following its directions. When you surrender your head to your heart, you allow your heart to give you a wider, higher intelligence perspective. Remember the phrase, "The real teacher is within you." Very simply, that teacher is to be found in the common sense of your own heart. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43898]]></link><description><![CDATA[A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do love My country's good with a respect more tender,  More holy and profound, then mine own life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45815]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do love My country's good with a respect more tender,  More holy and profound, then mine own life,   My dear wife's estimate, her womb increase,    And treasure of my loins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything.

After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm at my wits end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50989]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm at my wits end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50989</guid></item></channel></rss>
