The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 2. the ministry of meekness   He who would learn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 2. the ministry of meekness   He who would learn to serve must first learn to think little of himself... Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space isn't remote at all.

True and genuine worship is not to come to a certain place; it is not to go through a certain ritual or liturgy; it is not even to bring certain gifts. True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to think there was light at the end of the tunnel, but for me today the light is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/591]]></link><description><![CDATA[I used to think there was light at the end of the tunnel, but for me today the light is on a locomotive headed right for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'd all like t' vote fer th' best man, but he's never a candidate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60973]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'd all like t' vote fer th' best man, but he's never a candidate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26303]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dynamics that are required to make any relationship work: Just keep putting your love out there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2234]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dynamics that are required to make any relationship work: Just keep putting your love out there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love must not touch the marrow of the soul.

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[Show me the business man or institution not guided by sentiment and service, by the idea that "he profits most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me the business man or institution not guided by sentiment and service, by the idea that "he profits most who serves best," and I will show you a man or an outfit that is dead or dying. -B.
