It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it the vase will never be same again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it the vase will never be same again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894  We cannot attain to the understanding of Scripture either by study or by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894  We cannot attain to the understanding of Scripture either by study or by the intellect. Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the fat guys watch me and say to their wives, 'See, there's a fat guy doing okay.

I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Am I always to be a mere listener?
