But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much as we all love the show, we do have to run a business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35283]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much as we all love the show, we do have to run a business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To teach is to understand.

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Irishman's heart is nothing but his imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23054]]></link><description><![CDATA[An Irishman's heart is nothing but his imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sports do not build character.

Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to submit our proposal to the government to evaluate.
