A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities. [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whilst we deliberate how to begin a thing, it grows too late to begin it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whilst we deliberate how to begin a thing, it grows too late to begin it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12790]]></link><description><![CDATA[In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through her re-enactments of the stereotypical ways in which women and the female body have typically been depicted, she drew ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through her re-enactments of the stereotypical ways in which women and the female body have typically been depicted, she drew attention to the power of media images to shape ideas of female identity,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can read all the manuals on prayer and listen to other people pray, but until you begin to pray ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6354]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can read all the manuals on prayer and listen to other people pray, but until you begin to pray yourself you will never understand prayer. It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I realized that ritual will always mean throwing away something; Destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53477]]></link><description><![CDATA[I realized that ritual will always mean throwing away something; Destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did ever raven sing so like a lark That gives sweet tidings of the sun's uprise?
