Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mood in Comerica Park, downtown Detroit and around the region during All-Star Week was electrifying, and our residents were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40405]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mood in Comerica Park, downtown Detroit and around the region during All-Star Week was electrifying, and our residents were welcoming, happy and proud of metro Detroit as their hometown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are eagles of one nest - the nest is in our soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53421]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are eagles of one nest - the nest is in our soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8676]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.   - Lord Byron (George Gordon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23419]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.   - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We usually start off slowly.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the reasons the Council originally objected to the Landmark project was that the applicant did not provide a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36871]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the reasons the Council originally objected to the Landmark project was that the applicant did not provide a shoring plan indicating how the hillside would be stabilized during the excavation.

And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God ... is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled -- it may be angry -- but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood he has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"... The devotion of God to His creatures is perfect; He does not think about Himself, but about them; He wants nothing for Himself, but finds His blessedness in the outgoing of blessedness. Ah! it is a terrible -- shall it be a lonely glory, this? We will draw near with our human response, our abandonment of self in the faith of Jesus. He Lives Himself to us -- shall we not give ourselves to Him? Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom He loves?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43693]]></link><description><![CDATA[When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  Continuing a short series on prayer: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  Continuing a short series on prayer:   Madness frequently discovers itself merely by unnecessary deviation from the usual modes of the world. My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My great concern is that the tax will not benefit anyone because trading activity will decrease and the revenue collected ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35877]]></link><description><![CDATA[My great concern is that the tax will not benefit anyone because trading activity will decrease and the revenue collected by the government will therefore fall as well, and the trading will go to other markets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is too thin a screen; the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is too thin a screen; the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him. -H.L.
