Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My doctrine is not a doctrine but just a vision.

Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7895]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonetheless, struggle for civilian supremacy is still perilous and uncertain.

I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13630]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had plenty of opportunities in the doubles, but we just didn't convert.

In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63027]]></link><description><![CDATA[For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lost a friend, almost a person.
