The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59581]]></link><description><![CDATA[To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285 Beginning a short series on prayer:   Have you noticed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285 Beginning a short series on prayer:   Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late -- and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is ever seeking to get down to us -- to be the divine man in us.

And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God ... is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled -- it may be angry -- but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood he has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"... The devotion of God to His creatures is perfect; He does not think about Himself, but about them; He wants nothing for Himself, but finds His blessedness in the outgoing of blessedness. Ah! it is a terrible -- shall it be a lonely glory, this? We will draw near with our human response, our abandonment of self in the faith of Jesus. He Lives Himself to us -- shall we not give ourselves to Him? Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom He loves?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food,  Nothing to wear out but clothes,   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food,  Nothing to wear out but clothes,   To keep one from going nude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can read all the manuals on prayer and listen to other people pray, but until you begin to pray ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6354]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can read all the manuals on prayer and listen to other people pray, but until you begin to pray yourself you will never understand prayer. It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2476]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All German cities are blind, Nurnberg alone sees with one eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17393]]></link><description><![CDATA[All German cities are blind, Nurnberg alone sees with one eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given these divergent signals from the Bank of Canada and the Fed, look for the Canadian dollar to strengthen in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given these divergent signals from the Bank of Canada and the Fed, look for the Canadian dollar to strengthen in the near term, trading decisively through 90 U.S. cents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems that when we are oppressed by the knowledge of our worthlessness we do not see ourselves as lower ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52319]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems that when we are oppressed by the knowledge of our worthlessness we do not see ourselves as lower than some and higher than others, but as lower than the lowest of mankind.

Specifically, I have learned that everything outside of me is a mirror of what is inside of me. I have also learned how to "infect the quantum field" or manifest reality by concentrating on particular ideas that I want to call into existance. My career success is due in large part to this new understanding of quantum physics, combined with the love and trust I share with Brian [Lewis].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All married women are not wives ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61854]]></link><description><![CDATA[All married women are not wives]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A slender young Blackbird built in a thorn-tree: A spruce little fellow as ever could be;  His bill was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4285]]></link><description><![CDATA[A slender young Blackbird built in a thorn-tree: A spruce little fellow as ever could be;  His bill was so yellow, his feathers so black,   So long was his tail, and so glossy his back,    That good Mrs. B., who sat hatching her eggs,     And only just left them to stretch her poor legs,      And pick for a minute the worm she preferred,       Thought there never was seen such a beautiful bird.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prologues like compliments are loss of time; 'Tis penning bows and making legs in rhyme. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prologues like compliments are loss of time; 'Tis penning bows and making legs in rhyme.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As merry as the day is long. -Much Ado about Nothing.

Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I can't handle events, I let them handle themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63386]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I can't handle events, I let them handle themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As for me, prizes are nothing.

The discoveries of modern physical and biological science, of astronomy, and of psychology, have profoundly influenced his conception of the "size" of God. If there be a Mind behind the immense complexities of the phenomena that man can observe, then it is that of a Being tremendous in His power and wisdom: it is emphatically not that of a little god. It is perfectly conceivable that such a Being has a moral purpose which is being worked out on the stage of this small planet. It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't swim.
