For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple. [Continued tomorrow]  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 11, 1997  Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  The temple itself is the heart of man, Christ is the high priest, who from thence sends up the incense of prayers, and joins them to His own intercession and presents all together to His Father; and the Holy Ghost by His dwelling there hath also consecrated it into a temple; and God dwells in our hearts by faith, and Christ by His Spirit, and the spirit by His purities: so that we are also cabinets of the mysterious Trinity, and what is this short of heaven itself, but as infancy is short of manhood?... The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What?

It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lengthening shadows wait The first pale stars of twilight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59921]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lengthening shadows wait The first pale stars of twilight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes in the morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45216]]></link><description><![CDATA[In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes in the morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14754]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I dream, I am ageless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52103]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I dream, I am ageless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade;  Where rumor of oppression and deceit, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45882]]></link><description><![CDATA[O for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade;  Where rumor of oppression and deceit,   Of unsuccessful or successful war,    Might never reach me more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never yet heard man or woman much abused that I was not inclined to think the better of them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/265]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never yet heard man or woman much abused that I was not inclined to think the better of them, and to transfer the suspicion or dislike to the one who found pleasure in pointing out the defects of another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bliss itself is not worth having, If we're by compulsion blest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bliss itself is not worth having, If we're by compulsion blest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drawing is the true test of art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drawing is the true test of art.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not for nothing is their motto TGIF - 'Thank God It's Friday.'

It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man.
