It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[January grey is here, Like a sexton by her grave;  February bears the bier,   March with grief ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54956]]></link><description><![CDATA[January grey is here, Like a sexton by her grave;  February bears the bier,   March with grief doth howl and rave,    And April weeps--but, O ye hours!     Follow with May's fairest flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spritual writer, 1893   We feel that other churches must accept, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spritual writer, 1893   We feel that other churches must accept, as the pre-conditions of fellowship, such changes as will bring them into conformity with ourselves in matters which we regard as essential, and that a failure to insist on this will involve compromise in regard to what is essential to the Church's being.
