It is only when we see things in the light of God that we see what things are really important, and what things are not. These things seem vastly important, things like ambition, and prestige, and money and gain, lose all their value and importance when they are seen in the light of God. Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pressure can burst a pipe or pressure can make a diamond. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pressure can burst a pipe or pressure can make a diamond.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main doctrine of a fanatic's creed is that his enemies are the enemies of God ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12624]]></link><description><![CDATA[The main doctrine of a fanatic's creed is that his enemies are the enemies of God]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power that is supported by force alone will have cause often to tremble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16441]]></link><description><![CDATA[The power that is supported by force alone will have cause often to tremble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lofty pine is most easily brought low by the force of the wind, and the higher the tower the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50348]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lofty pine is most easily brought low by the force of the wind, and the higher the tower the greater the fall thereof.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things deteriorate in time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51782]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things deteriorate in time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21172]]></link><description><![CDATA[My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist  Paul, using the examples of differing opinions about food and days ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist  Paul, using the examples of differing opinions about food and days among the believers in Rome, teaches that Christians should not despise or judge others. He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy is that when a precision bomb hits a gas station surrounded by cottages, you discover that you can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41761]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy is that when a precision bomb hits a gas station surrounded by cottages, you discover that you can't fight a humanitarian war in a humane way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only a mediocre person is always at his best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only a mediocre person is always at his best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cute is when a person's personality shines through their looks.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.
