"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age is an ugly thing, and it goes on getting worse. -Diana Cooper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1858]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age is an ugly thing, and it goes on getting worse. -Diana Cooper.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We griev'd, we sigh'd, we wept; we never blushed before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4375]]></link><description><![CDATA[We griev'd, we sigh'd, we wept; we never blushed before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not closing the lower Manhattan location. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34557]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're not closing the lower Manhattan location.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hippies had in mind something that they wanted, and were calling it "freedom," but in the final analysis "freedom" ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19291]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hippies had in mind something that they wanted, and were calling it "freedom," but in the final analysis "freedom" is a purely negative goal.

He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I played ball, I didn't play for fun...
