When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live by reposing trust in each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50913]]></link><description><![CDATA[We live by reposing trust in each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62524]]></link><description><![CDATA[An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the faces of men and women I see God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17725]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the faces of men and women I see God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you were arrested for kindness, would there be enough evidence to convict you? -Unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23799]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you were arrested for kindness, would there be enough evidence to convict you? -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If't be summer news, Smile to't before; if winterly, thou need'st  But keep that count'nance still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44468]]></link><description><![CDATA[If't be summer news, Smile to't before; if winterly, thou need'st  But keep that count'nance still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take things as they are.
