It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A new poll showed that if the election was held today, people would be confused because it is normally held ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47381]]></link><description><![CDATA[A new poll showed that if the election was held today, people would be confused because it is normally held in November.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An expert gossiper knows how much to leave out of a conversation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17910]]></link><description><![CDATA[An expert gossiper knows how much to leave out of a conversation]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it.

To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Freedom's battle once begun, Bequeath'd by bleeding sire to son,  Though baffled oft is ever won. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16668]]></link><description><![CDATA[For Freedom's battle once begun, Bequeath'd by bleeding sire to son,  Though baffled oft is ever won.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16668</guid></item></channel></rss>
