Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is that part of the imagination we all agree on ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is that part of the imagination we all agree on]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can't be cured. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12479]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can't be cured.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble.
