Whilst men are under the power of actual impressions from such fears, they will convert to God, yea, they will turn in a moment, and perfect their holiness in an instant; but so soon as that impression wears off (as it will do on every occasion, and upon none at all) such persons are as dead and cold towards God as the lead or iron, which but now ran in a fiery stream, is now when the heat is departed from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel the overall market is showing a lot of life across the board. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42575]]></link><description><![CDATA[We feel the overall market is showing a lot of life across the board.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion costs me too much to bestow it on every trifle.

The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the younger generation, we've been raised to think that everything is OK and if you look down on anyone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30027]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the younger generation, we've been raised to think that everything is OK and if you look down on anyone else, you judge anyone else, then you're a racist or you're a religious zealot, or you're not open-minded.
