That is good, as far as it goes... But better still is the advice to study the Bible objectively, ... without regard, first of all, to our own subjective needs. Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59162]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have all types, and we have all ages. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38529]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have all types, and we have all ages.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's unfortunate for teachers feeling that way, that they don't want to be singled out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37408]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's unfortunate for teachers feeling that way, that they don't want to be singled out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[During her sabbatical, she said, she would often sit in her backyard in Venice, Calif., thinking and playing with pine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34910]]></link><description><![CDATA[[During her sabbatical, she said, she would often sit in her backyard in Venice, Calif., thinking and playing with pine cones.] I was making little pine-cone people with razor blades, ...

Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards.
