He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.  Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ  [With thanks to Roger E. Doriot]    February 12, 1997  Ash Wednesday  Were Christians duly instructed how many lesser differences in mind and judgment and practice are really consistent with the nature, ends, and genuine fruit of the unity that Christ requires among them, it would undoubtedly prevail with them so as to manage themselves in their differences by mutual forbearance and condescension in their love, as not to contract the guilt of being disturbers or breakers of it. To speak plainly, among all the churches in the world which are free from idolatry and persecution, it is not different opinions, nor a difference in judgment about revealed truths, nor a different practice in sacred administrations, but pride, self-interest, love of honour, reputation, and dominion, with the influence of civil or political intrigues and considerations, that are the true cause of that defect of evangelical unity that is at this day amongst them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not going to be easy, but I think things were encouraging.

I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...we are entitled to make almost any reasonable assumption, but should resist making conclusions until evidence requires that we do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52210]]></link><description><![CDATA[...we are entitled to make almost any reasonable assumption, but should resist making conclusions until evidence requires that we do so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every benefit you receive a tax is levied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58674]]></link><description><![CDATA[For every benefit you receive a tax is levied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However important it may be to have a creed that is sound, or an emotion that is warm, the Christian ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6180]]></link><description><![CDATA[However important it may be to have a creed that is sound, or an emotion that is warm, the Christian life according to the Gospels is primarily determined by the direction of the will, the fixing of the desire, the habit of obedience, the faculty of decision.
