I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. 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[They played like they were down 2-0.

Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no jollitie but hath a smack of folly. [There is no jollity but hath a smack of folly.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49956]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no jollitie but hath a smack of folly. [There is no jollity but hath a smack of folly.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49956</guid></item></channel></rss>
