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[Evil is like water, it abounds, is cheap, soon fouls, but runs itself clear of taint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil is like water, it abounds, is cheap, soon fouls, but runs itself clear of taint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18812]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25783]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She had the loaded handbag of someone who camps out and seldom goes home, or who imagines life must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5194]]></link><description><![CDATA[She had the loaded handbag of someone who camps out and seldom goes home, or who imagines life must be full of emergencies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they took the idea that they could escape poverty through education, I think it would make a more basic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39418]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they took the idea that they could escape poverty through education, I think it would make a more basic and long-lasting change in the way things happen.
