It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24666]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People have told us in letters and phone calls that they have to jog from Lincoln Center to make their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41656]]></link><description><![CDATA[People have told us in letters and phone calls that they have to jog from Lincoln Center to make their train.

If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one loves the man whom he fears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15493]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one loves the man whom he fears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet soon fair Spring shall give another scene. And yellow cowslips gild the level green. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet soon fair Spring shall give another scene. And yellow cowslips gild the level green.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not a heavy drinker.

A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it's a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time. Even if he should decide to abandon it forever ten minutes later, the memory will nag him to the grave. He has seen the creation of the world. It has his mark on it. He has its mark on him. Both marks are, for better or for worse, indelible. All sons, like all daughters, are prodigals if they're smart. Assuming the Old Man doesn't run out on them first, they will run out on him if they are to survive, and if he's smart he won't put up too much of a fuss. A wise father sees all this coming, and maybe that's why he keeps his distance from the start. He must survive too. Whether they ever find their way home again, none can say for sure, but it's the risk he must take if they're ever to find their way at all. In the meantime, the world tends to have a soft spot in its heart for lost children. Lost fathers have to fend for themselves. Even as the father lays down the law, he knows that someday his children will break it as they need to break it if ever they're to find something better than law to replace it. Until and unless that happens, there's no telling the scrapes they will get into trying to lose him and find themselves. Terrible blnders will be made-dissapointments and failures, hurts and losses of every kind. And they'll keep making them even after they've found themselves too, of course, because growing up is a process that goes on and on. And every hard knock they ever get, knocks the father even harder still, if that's possible, and if and when they finally come through more or less in one piece at the end, there's maybe no rejoicing greater than his in all creation. -Fatherhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45524</guid></item></channel></rss>
