All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. The philosophers promised them to you, and have not been able to keep their promises... Your principal maladies are pride, which cuts you off from God, and sensuality, which binds you to the earth; and they have done nothing but foster at least one of these maladies. If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a man's house is his castle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19616]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a man's house is his castle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inaction, contrary for its reputation as being a refuge, is neither safe nor comfortable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inaction, contrary for its reputation as being a refuge, is neither safe nor comfortable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an opportunity for citizens who care about issues to communicate with lawmakers about what's happening in their communities.

It is rather to return to Christ not a figure of the imagination, but the Christ of the Scriptures and to listen to His voice in obedience, to discover afresh what is the Truth. All unpretentious Bible study, every effort to disseminate a true scriptural theology, and every earnest prayer is part of the task of promoting that unity which is truly Christian. We must not envisage Christian Unity as consisting of faroff and doubtful schemes, but as something very nigh which affects us all. If we are really to seek for Christian Unity, we must be prepared to pay the cost. For it must be based upon love, and love is always costly. It will never be attained until there is "far more humility, far more thought, far more self-sacrifice, and far more prayer, than there is at present." (Streeter) If we are right in the conclusion that such disunion as has been sinful in the history of the Church has been due to pride, selfassertion, and contempt for God's Word and commandment, then it follows that the way to the unity which God wills [is] through humility, love of the brethren, and obedience to the Divine Revelation. When Christians pray to be shown where they have been wrong, proud, complaisant, or censorious, and to be put right; when they meet for common counsel and study of the Word, in the spirit of obedience and prepared to subject their individual opinions to the guidance of the Spirit; where the strong are willing to foster and strengthen the weak; and where all are seeking the common good rather than their own sectional interests: then the pathway to unity will become plain, and God will grant His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  The truth is neither mine nor his nor another's; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  The truth is neither mine nor his nor another's; but belongs to us all whom Thou callest to partake of it, warning us terribly, not to account it private to ourselves, lest we be deprived of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8462</guid></item></channel></rss>
