He that refuses to do the less is not like to do the greater. It is very improbable that a man will die for his religion, when he cannot be persuaded to live according to it.

And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pentecost  Every time we say, 'I believe in the Holy Spirit,' we mean that we believe that there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pentecost  Every time we say, 'I believe in the Holy Spirit,' we mean that we believe that there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61261]]></link><description><![CDATA[The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our revels now are ended.

If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm on the interstate, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41977]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm on the interstate,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive believer can be seen to risk the torments of the afterlife for the smallest pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of communication is the language of leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9056]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of communication is the language of leadership.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having several governors from each of our different partners united in a single trust will greatly simplify and speed up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having several governors from each of our different partners united in a single trust will greatly simplify and speed up the decision-making process.
