For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As of right now, we have given $105,140.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14187]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  If the [Incarnation] happened, it was the central event ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  If the [Incarnation] happened, it was the central event in the history of the Earth -- the very thing that the whole story has been about. Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item></channel></rss>
