Has it transported him for a moment into a spiritual ecstasy that vanishes when everyday life returns, or has it lodged the Word of God so securely and deeply in his heart that it holds and fortifies him, impelling him to active love, to obedience, to good works?

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I might have been stupid in some respects, it if weren't for my psychedelic experiences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57889]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think I might have been stupid in some respects, it if weren't for my psychedelic experiences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57889</guid></item></channel></rss>
