What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.

The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I grew up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was like a war zone, so I never learned to trust ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65015]]></link><description><![CDATA[I grew up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was like a war zone, so I never learned to trust that there were people who could help me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42834]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When television is good, nothing is better.
