And now I bear it and it is light unto me, because so hast Thou promised, and hast made it; and verily it was so, and I knew it not, when I feared to take it.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    October 10, 1999  Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644  Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury, and many other evangelicals, have been leaders in social reform, but it was not their religion.

From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  The surest symbol of a heart not yet fully subdued ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  The surest symbol of a heart not yet fully subdued to God and His will is going to be found in the areas of money, sex, and power: in wanting these things for ourselves. The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was sitting at home going through everything we need to do, but I kept coming to the money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38613]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was sitting at home going through everything we need to do, but I kept coming to the money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weep not that the world changes -- did it keep a stable, changeless state, it were a cause indeed to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weep not that the world changes -- did it keep a stable, changeless state, it were a cause indeed to weep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness is a constant sin, and labor is a duty.
