Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Companies appear to have turned cautious because of the possibility of spikes in crude oil prices, which could hit corporate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Companies appear to have turned cautious because of the possibility of spikes in crude oil prices, which could hit corporate profitability.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Susceptible persons are more affected by a change of tone that by unexpected words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Susceptible persons are more affected by a change of tone that by unexpected words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was concerned after those first three games because of the kind of mistakes we were making in one-run losses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31330]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was concerned after those first three games because of the kind of mistakes we were making in one-run losses to tough teams.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life.
