Not until men get rid of the thought that it is a poor machine, an expedient for saving them from suffering and pain; not until they get the grand idea of it as the great power of God present in and through the lives of men; not until then does Christianity enter upon its true trial and become ready to show what it can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The introverted church is one which puts its own survival before its mission, its own identity above its task, its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8257]]></link><description><![CDATA[The introverted church is one which puts its own survival before its mission, its own identity above its task, its internal concerns before its apostolate, its rituals before its ministry.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66575]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did somebody dream there is some way that the government doesn't need us? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did somebody dream there is some way that the government doesn't need us?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59100]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wrote for twelve years and collected 250 rejection slips before getting any fiction published, so I guess outside reinforcement ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40817]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wrote for twelve years and collected 250 rejection slips before getting any fiction published, so I guess outside reinforcement isn't all that important to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to leave them.

You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who can love the man he fears. or by who he thinks he is himself feared? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who can love the man he fears. or by who he thinks he is himself feared?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They always say they're going to cut back my ice time.
