He was never for one moment of any day out of touch with God. He was speaking and listening to the Father all day long; and yet He, who was in such constant touch with God, felt the need, as well as the joy, of more prolonged and more quiet communion with Him... Most of the reasons that drive us to pray for strength and forgiveness could never have driven Him; and yet He needed prayer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Byrd Amendment virtually defines corporate welfare, ...

You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Visitors are insatiable devourers of time, and fit only for those who, if they did not visit, would do nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Visitors are insatiable devourers of time, and fit only for those who, if they did not visit, would do nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Turkey, heresy, hops, and beer came into England all in one year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Turkey, heresy, hops, and beer came into England all in one year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51042</guid></item></channel></rss>
