We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth-- that no evil can happen to a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth-- that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ours not to reason why Ours but to do and die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ours not to reason why Ours but to do and die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many consumers are moving away from three core meals because they are skipping meals out of necessity.

It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond? There can be no doubt that that which unites them is a common relation to Christ -- a common faith in Him, involving religious convictions about Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I did not expect to hear that it could be, in an assembly convened for the propagation of Christian knowledge, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7956]]></link><description><![CDATA[I did not expect to hear that it could be, in an assembly convened for the propagation of Christian knowledge, a question whether any nation uninstructed in religion should receive instruction; or whether that, instruction should be imparted to them by a translation of the holy-books into their own language. If obedience to the will of GOD be necessary to happiness, and knowledge of his will be necessary to obedience, I know not how he that withholds this knowledge, or delays it, can be said to love his neighbour as himself. He, that voluntarily continues ignorance, is guilty of all the crimes which ignorance produces; as to him that should extinguish the tapers of a light-house, might justly be imputed the calamities of shipwrecks. (Continued tomorrow)   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 13, 2002   Christianity is the highest perfection of humanity; and as no man is good but as he wishes the good of others, so no man can be good in the highest degree, who wishes not to others the largest measures of the greatest good. To omit for a year, or for a day, the most efficacious method of advancing Christianity [i.e., the Bible], in compliance with any purposes that terminate this side of the grave, is a crime [the like] of which I know not that the world has yet had an example.   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 14, 2002 Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The "good" man, the man whose god is righteousness, has as his life's ambition the keeping of rules and commandments and the keeping of himself uncontaminated by the world. This sounds admirable; but, as the truth of Christ showed, the whole of such living, the whole drive and ambition, the whole edifice, is self-centered. That entire process of effort must be abandoned if a man is to give himself in love to God and his fellows. He must lose his life if he is ever going to find it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good indignation brings out all one's powers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18834]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good indignation brings out all one's powers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children today are tyrants.
