And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10873]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's something for everybody at Picnic Day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40867]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's something for everybody at Picnic Day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A human being is an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4449]]></link><description><![CDATA[A human being is an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart seldom feels what the mouth expresses. [Fr., Le coeur sent rarement ce que la bouche exprime.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57347]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart seldom feels what the mouth expresses. [Fr., Le coeur sent rarement ce que la bouche exprime.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6017]]></link><description><![CDATA[The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The steady discipline of intimate friendship with Jesus results in men becoming like Him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65028]]></link><description><![CDATA[The steady discipline of intimate friendship with Jesus results in men becoming like Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5543]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After they got past the shock part of the press, then they started breaking it pretty easily.

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ...
