Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52552]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Push on,--keep moving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Push on,--keep moving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the sheep are in the fauld, and a' the kye at hame, And all the weary world to sleep ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56612]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the sheep are in the fauld, and a' the kye at hame, And all the weary world to sleep are gane.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2138]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21310]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye children of man! whose life is a span Protracted with sorrow from day to day,  Naked and featherless, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye children of man! whose life is a span Protracted with sorrow from day to day,  Naked and featherless, feeble and querulous,   Sickly, calamitous creatures of clay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the crude cry which we have so often heard during the war years: "If there is a God, why ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the crude cry which we have so often heard during the war years: "If there is a God, why doesn't He stop Hitler?", to the unspoken questioning in many a Christian heart when a devoted servant of Christ dies from accident or disease at what seems to us a most inopportune moment, there is this universal longing for God to intervene, to show His hand, to vindicate His purpose. 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[ALLIANCE, n.
