And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I met with Coach Bowden and he gave me some good information.

But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63153]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It reflects the very nature that we're changing directions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34895]]></link><description><![CDATA[It reflects the very nature that we're changing directions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poor little men, poor little cocks!
