If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us. We may be sorry and embarrassed that we have not more to bring -- and rightly so; but that is not reason for failing or refusing to bring what we have and what we are. Little is always much in the hands of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact that we filed suit shows how important the issue is to us.

This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rivers are roads that move and carry us whither we wish to go. [Fr., Les rivieres sont des chemins qui ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rivers are roads that move and carry us whither we wish to go. [Fr., Les rivieres sont des chemins qui marchant et qui portent ou l'on veut aller.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished- for state.

These are talents in their kind; but it is the Spirit that must manage all that learning they have, or it will prejudice them, and you also. I have known some good men who have been so addicted to their study, that they have thought the last day of the week sufficient to prepare for their ministry, though they employ all the rest of the week in other studies. But you business is to trade with your spiritual abilities... A man may preach a very good sermon, who is otherwise himself; but he will never make a good minister of Jesus Christ, whose mind and heart [are] not always in the work. Spiritual gifts will require continual ruminating on the things of the Gospel in our minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best antidote I have found is to yearn for something.
