We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone can believe that Jesus was a god: what is so hard to credit is that He who hung upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone can believe that Jesus was a god: what is so hard to credit is that He who hung upon the cross was the God. That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't tell you some of the things I did as a teenager, but some folks didn't give up on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36790]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't tell you some of the things I did as a teenager, but some folks didn't give up on me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This very moment is a seed from which the flowers of tomorrow's happiness grow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43942]]></link><description><![CDATA[This very moment is a seed from which the flowers of tomorrow's happiness grow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't give them extra outs.

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My cake is dough. -The Taming of the Shrew.
