The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are submissive to power, and few of them can be influenced by doctrines of righteousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20862]]></link><description><![CDATA[People are submissive to power, and few of them can be influenced by doctrines of righteousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not a sedentary person.
