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[Becoming a grandmother is wonderful.

The first is its compromised, deficient understanding of revelation. Without Biblical historicity and veracity behind the Word of God, theology can only grow closer to Hinduism. Second, the modern Christian is drastically weak in an unmediated, persona. experiential knowledge of God. Often, what passes for religious experience is a communal emotion felt in church services, in meetings, in singing or contrived fellowship. Few Christians would know God on their own. Third, the modern church is often pathetically feeble in the expression of its focal principle of community. It has become an adult social club, preaching shop, or minister-dominated group. With these weaknesses, modern Christianity cannot hope to understand why people have turned to the East, let alone stand against the trend and offer an alternative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And lilies white, prepared to touch The whitest thought, nor soil it much,  Of dreamer turned to lover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25080]]></link><description><![CDATA[And lilies white, prepared to touch The whitest thought, nor soil it much,  Of dreamer turned to lover.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's really a focal point for us that our scores are going up -- we're closing that gap, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36888]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's really a focal point for us that our scores are going up -- we're closing that gap,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Must a government of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Must a government of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hot goaltender in hockey can sometimes take you far and we were fortunate to slip two shots behind Gabby ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42633]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hot goaltender in hockey can sometimes take you far and we were fortunate to slip two shots behind Gabby today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to the hero, when his sword Has won the battle for the free,  Thy voice sounds like a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19230]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to the hero, when his sword Has won the battle for the free,  Thy voice sounds like a prophet's word,   And in its hollow tones are heard    The thanks of millions yet to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is something you got to make in case you don't die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is something you got to make in case you don't die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whom am I going to trust if I have to back again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whom am I going to trust if I have to back again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind forgets but the heart always remembers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63170]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind forgets but the heart always remembers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is so far from being needless pains, that it may bring considerable profit, to carry Charcoals to Newcastle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23933]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is so far from being needless pains, that it may bring considerable profit, to carry Charcoals to Newcastle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2639]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm trying to sell every audience something;

"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item></channel></rss>
