Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight;  Farewell awhile to him and thee,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight;  Farewell awhile to him and thee,   My native land--Good Night!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10062]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I write down everything I want to remember.

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been told that we probably will not be able to get home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40061]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been told that we probably will not be able to get home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our myriad-minded Shakespeare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our myriad-minded Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing on earth divine except humanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19980]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something to that old saying that hate injures the hater, notthe hated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21159]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is something to that old saying that hate injures the hater, notthe hated.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity began. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity began.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't run around a guy that's 355 pounds.

Christians who really have life in Christ cannot exist within such a corpse and will at last have to come out of it. But in almost all cases, those who have come out of dead institutions want to have in their place another institution or other rituals and ceremonies, only repeating the same error. Instead of turning to Christ Himself as their center, they again seek to find fellowship and spiritual security on the very same basis that failed, not realizing that it is the institution that is killing, instead of producing, life in Christ.
