Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why fear death when it is the only path to meet the Maker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why fear death when it is the only path to meet the Maker.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Corne is cleaned with winde, and the soule with chastnings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Corne is cleaned with winde, and the soule with chastnings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  A knowledge of the Bible without a college ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  A knowledge of the Bible without a college course is more valuable than a college course without a knowledge of the Bible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How blessings brighten as they take their flight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51863]]></link><description><![CDATA[How blessings brighten as they take their flight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40076]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever people say "we mustn't be sentimental", you can take it they are about to do something cruel.

He looked through the lattice of our flesh and he spake us fair, yea, he set us on fire, and we hasten on his scent. But when he shall appear, then shall we be like him, for we shall see him as he is: as he is, Lord, will our sight be, though the time be not yet.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine June 19, 1996 Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  Many we have who plead themselves to be Christians. This might be allowed them, would they not do such things as the Christian religion abhors. But this is the least part of their claim.
