They would strive to lead their associates into the Christian life if they had the gifts of Dwight L. Moody. But they are not ready to give what they have and do what they can and be as it has pleased God to make them, in His service -- and that is their condemnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6581</guid></item></channel></rss>
