Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65990]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want people to miss this wonderful show by these imaginative and talented young artists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33597]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't want people to miss this wonderful show by these imaginative and talented young artists.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world -- A small parenthesis in eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14220]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world -- A small parenthesis in eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In water one sees one's own face;

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We work off of a back log, ...

They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On one occasion some one put a very little wine into a wine cooler, and said that it was sixteen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1710]]></link><description><![CDATA[On one occasion some one put a very little wine into a wine cooler, and said that it was sixteen years old.
