Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him.

This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It appears that the level of violence was well below the last election. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28971]]></link><description><![CDATA[It appears that the level of violence was well below the last election.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17948]]></link><description><![CDATA[An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.
