I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself? (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends, if we be honest with ourselves, we shall be honest with each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary   As out of Jesus' affliction came a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary   As out of Jesus' affliction came a new sense of God's love and a new basis for love between men, so out of our affliction we may grasp the splendor of God's love and how to love one another.

The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men commonly think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and imbibed opinions, but generally act according to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men commonly think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and imbibed opinions, but generally act according to custom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the youngest of us may be wrong sometimes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the youngest of us may be wrong sometimes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd: Nor to rebuke the rich offender fear'd.  His preaching much, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48083]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd: Nor to rebuke the rich offender fear'd.  His preaching much, but more his practice wrought;   (A living sermon of the truths he taught:)    For this by rules severe his life he squar'd:     That all might see the doctrines which they heard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the still small voice that the soul heeds; not the deafening blasts of doom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60940]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the still small voice that the soul heeds; not the deafening blasts of doom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None knowes the weight of anothers burthen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49662]]></link><description><![CDATA[None knowes the weight of anothers burthen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pro football is like nuclear warfare. there are no winners, only survivors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pro football is like nuclear warfare. there are no winners, only survivors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only can water float a boat, it can sink it also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62811</guid></item></channel></rss>
