The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12626]]></link><description><![CDATA[That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being taken for granted can be a compliment.

And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favour. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favour.
