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[When you think of the Caribbean today, you think of clear blue warm water, ...

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature.

They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Constant at Church and 'Change; his gains were sure; His givings rare, save farthings to the poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Constant at Church and 'Change; his gains were sure; His givings rare, save farthings to the poor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be humble, if thou would'st attain to Wisdom.

Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be so humble--you are not that great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't be so humble--you are not that great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the Germans did not succeed in doing the damage you propose to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the Germans did not succeed in doing the damage you propose to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the wife of a state Supreme Court justice in Arkansas put it, "My husband has been a Methodist all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6440]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the wife of a state Supreme Court justice in Arkansas put it, "My husband has been a Methodist all his life, but if it comes to choosing between being a Methodist and an American, he'll be an American every time." But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11741</guid></item></channel></rss>
