All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find the medicine worse than the malady. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26677]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find the medicine worse than the malady.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every fool finds a greater one to admire them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every fool finds a greater one to admire them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17924]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin in this country has been always said to be rather calculating than impulsive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin in this country has been always said to be rather calculating than impulsive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After supper walk a mile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48622]]></link><description><![CDATA[After supper walk a mile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[From our side] our relation to God is unrighteous.

Secretly we are ourselves the masters in this relationship. We are not concerned with God, but with our own requirements, to which God must adjust Himself. Our arrogance demands that, in addition to everything else, some super-world should also be known and accessible to us. Our conduct calls for some deeper sanction, some approbation and remuneration from another world. Our well-regulated, pleasurable life longs for some hours of devotion, some prolongation into infinity. And so, when we set God upon the throne of the world, we mean by God ourselves. In "believing" on Him, we justify, enjoy, and adore ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Every wise workman takes his tools away from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Every wise workman takes his tools away from the work from time to time that they may be ground and sharpened; so does the only-wise Jehovah take his ministers oftentimes away into darkness and loneliness and trouble, that he may sharpen and prepare them for harder work in his service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things have been great this season.
