You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's only February and we don't expect Greg to be running the way he was last May, but were anxious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30364]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's only February and we don't expect Greg to be running the way he was last May, but were anxious to see how he does outdoors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65714]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very entrenched in where I'm at and what I'm doing, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33098]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm very entrenched in where I'm at and what I'm doing,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like gambling somehow.

Whether this deity be true or false, the temple as such becomes a meeting-place for people who desire to worship as they understand it. For the ancient Hebrews, the Temple in Jerusalem was the house of God, the place where God dwelt symbolically, and met with people who came to worship. Jesus called it "My Father's house." For the Christian, the word 'church' has become the symbol for the edifice built and dedicated for the worship of God. But unless it is so dedicated and so used, it may be considered only a mere building or club-house. However beautiful its design and architecture, a church is a true temple only as it is frequented by God's people who come to "worship Him in spirit and in truth," and who there hold forth "the word of life."
