In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the fight alone that pleases us, not the victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60602]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the fight alone that pleases us, not the victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.

The shortest possible description of a Christian -- a description with which the New Testament would fully agree -- is that a Christian is a person who can say: "For me Jesus Christ is Lord." Herbert Butterfield's words about facing the future are good: "Hold to Christ, and for the rest be totally uncommitted." Any alleged conversion which does not leave one totally committed solely to Jesus Christ is incomplete and imperfect.
