Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace... [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18516]]></link><description><![CDATA[We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear Ted: Thanks for the invitation to question four distinguished liberal journalists.

"This friend is always sure and right;  His lantern is sufficient light -- I need no star," I said. I sought Him in the city square.  Logic and I went up and down  The marketplace of many a town, And He was never there. I tracked Him to the mind's far rim.  The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE   It belongs to the very nature of the gospel that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6334]]></link><description><![CDATA[THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE   It belongs to the very nature of the gospel that the Church is built across cultural, social, and racial barriers. There are siren voices (as well as gut reactions) telling Christians that the way to success in evangelism is to follow the natural divisions, and to try to build churches along cultural, social and racial divisions. In doing so, they ignore the "success" in the New Testament in crossing these lines; more importantly, they are in fact stressing success more highly than the truth of the gospel. To buy success at the price of treating the fundamental nature of the gospel as dispensable is to follow a false gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our effort was there, but when you don't shoot the ball well, you're not going to win.
