(2) The glorifying of God is the great work of God's children. (3) Delightful privacy with God argues strong affection. (4) Frequent prayer an argument of much of God's Spirit; true prayer is the pouring out of the heart to God; God's children are most in private with God; the prayers of God's people most respect spiritual mercies; God's people wait for and rest in God's answer. (5) God's people are sensible of their unworthiness. (6) God Himself is regarded as the portion of His people. (7) Ready obedience to God. (8) The patience of God's children under God's hand. (9) The mournful confession of God's people. (10) God's people long after God in an open profession of His ordinances. (11) Their hearts are ready and prepared.

The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he is absolutely free ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1188]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he is absolutely free to choose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If dirt was trumps, what hands you would hold! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8857]]></link><description><![CDATA[If dirt was trumps, what hands you would hold!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him laugh, who is on the right side of the hedge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him laugh, who is on the right side of the hedge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men freely believe that which they wish to be the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men freely believe that which they wish to be the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away: only themselves die faster.  The far-fam'd sculptor, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15092]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best-concerted schemes men lay for fame, Die fast away: only themselves die faster.  The far-fam'd sculptor, and the laurell'd bard,   Those bold insurancers of deathless fame,    Supply their little feeble aids in vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humiliating to human pride as it may be, we must recognize that the advance and even the preservation of civilization ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humiliating to human pride as it may be, we must recognize that the advance and even the preservation of civilization are dependent upon a maximum of opportunity for accidents to happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those presents are the most acceptable which are enhanced by our regard for the donor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those presents are the most acceptable which are enhanced by our regard for the donor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10154]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though you see a Church-man ill, yet continue in the Church still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though you see a Church-man ill, yet continue in the Church still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had dinner and went to bed.
