Thus his stay had not been long enough for him to do more than teach the fundamental truths which seemed to him of the first importance: all the circumstances of his visit were still fresh in his memory and he was recalling to the minds of his readers what he had taught them by word of mouth. Now in that Epistle we get an extraordinarily clear and coherent account of simple mission-preaching not only implied but definitely expressed. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody expects it to take real long, but it takes a while to build a program anywhere.

Success and failure are unavoidably related in our minds with the state of things around us. Hence it is that people with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to preserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change. The tendency to look for all causes outside ourselves persists even when it is clear that our state of being is the product of personal qualities such as ability, character, appearance, health and so on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, lots have gone in already, ...

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[I live an idle burden to the ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20335]]></link><description><![CDATA[I live an idle burden to the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses — behind the lines, in the gym and out there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57722]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses — behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie and he also plays now with Hank Williams Jr. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36142]]></link><description><![CDATA[I got Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie and he also plays now with Hank Williams Jr.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Commemoration of Helena, Protector of the Faith, 330  The heart's slavish and dogged devotion to its idol ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6221]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Commemoration of Helena, Protector of the Faith, 330  The heart's slavish and dogged devotion to its idol is what fathers of the Church have called "the bondage of the will". This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Momentum is building for smoke-free measures around the region.
