They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rolling fictions grow in strength and size, Each author adding to the former lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rolling fictions grow in strength and size, Each author adding to the former lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy for men to talk one thing and think another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20239]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy for men to talk one thing and think another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a very high-energy activity.
