Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why?

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item></channel></rss>
