What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?... I will not pronounce anything concerning the impossibility of a death-bed repentance, but I am sure that it is very difficult, and, I believe, very rare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dare to be wrong and to dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52047]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dare to be wrong and to dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No brain is stronger than its weakest think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59216]]></link><description><![CDATA[No brain is stronger than its weakest think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a real tug of war in the yen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28437]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a real tug of war in the yen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go on, get out.

He has called some to be "player-coaches" ... to equip the laity for the ministry they are to fulfill. This equipping ministry is of unique importance. One is appointed to this ministry by the Holy Spirit; therefore it must be undertaken with utmost seriousness. This is a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the roles of the laity and the clergy. The laity had the idea that they were already committed to a "full-time" vocation in the secular world, [and] thus they did not have time -- at least, much time -- to do God's work. Therefore they contributed money to "free" the clergy to have the time needed to fulfill God's ministry. This view is rank heresy. If we follow this pattern, we may continue to do God's work until the Lord comes again and never fulfill God's purpose as it ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far more important to me is, that I should be loyal to what I regard as the law of my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18012]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far more important to me is, that I should be loyal to what I regard as the law of my political life, which is this: a belief that that country is best governed, which is least                     governed ...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style is a simple way of saying complicated things ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style is a simple way of saying complicated things]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are in some brown study. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58040]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are in some brown study.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear not, but trust in Providence, Wherever thou may'st be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear not, but trust in Providence, Wherever thou may'st be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51913</guid></item></channel></rss>
