It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge can be enormously costly, and is often scattered in widely uneven fragments, too small to be individually usable in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52173]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge can be enormously costly, and is often scattered in widely uneven fragments, too small to be individually usable in decision making.

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61851</guid></item></channel></rss>
