When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By merit raised To that bad eminence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27389]]></link><description><![CDATA[By merit raised To that bad eminence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water is the only drink for a wise man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water is the only drink for a wise man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine,  Whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine,  Whose weakness married to thy stronger state   Makes with me thy strength to communicate.    If aught possess thee from me, it is dross,     Usurping ivy, brier, or idle moss;      Who all for want of pruning, with intrusion       Infect thy sap and live on thy confusion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was on the last night of His life, when His enemies were all around Him, that He spoke to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7154]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was on the last night of His life, when His enemies were all around Him, that He spoke to His disciples of the joy that no man taketh away. Read again the story of His Passion: Jesus is seen throughout as calm, quiet, and confident. His last word is, "Father, into Thy hands I commit my spirit". Someone may say, "Yes, but He knew that He was going to rise from the dead." But have we not the same promise for ourselves?

In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never ask of money spent Where the spender thinks it went.
