More likely, the Christian faith is an archaic facade, a bit of Victorian fretwork on the front of the house, of which polite note is made at Commencement, but not the common premise of teaching and research and learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More mony is put into prisons than into schools.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although prayer has been defined as communion with God, aspiration after the highest things, Stopford Brooke [Irish clergyman, 1832-1916] is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although prayer has been defined as communion with God, aspiration after the highest things, Stopford Brooke [Irish clergyman, 1832-1916] is right when he insists that prayer, in its plainest meaning, is a petition addressed to God. When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Luke the Evangelist  No man dares to condemn the Christian faith today, because the Christian faith has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Luke the Evangelist  No man dares to condemn the Christian faith today, because the Christian faith has not been tried. Not until men get rid of the thought that it is a poor machine, an expedient for saving them from suffering and pain; not until they get the grand idea of it as the great power of God present in and through the lives of men; not until then does Christianity enter upon its true trial and become ready to show what it can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning how to access a continuity of common sense can be one of your most efficient accomplishments in this decade. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning how to access a continuity of common sense can be one of your most efficient accomplishments in this decade.
