Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them... Listening can be a greater service than speaking... One who cannot listen long and patiently will presently be talking beside the point and be never really speaking to others. Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a long time in the hot seat and I was hopeful that I might hold on, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40266]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a long time in the hot seat and I was hopeful that I might hold on,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prince, give praise to our French ladies For the sweet sound their speaking carries;  'Twixt Rome and Cadiz many ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prince, give praise to our French ladies For the sweet sound their speaking carries;  'Twixt Rome and Cadiz many a maid is,   But no good girl's lip out of Paris.   - Algernon Charles Swinburne,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With a multi-car team like ours, we have different people working on stuff.

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wants you all to Himself to put His loving, divine arms around you.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63394]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wants you all to Himself to put His loving, divine arms around you.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43916]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None can less afford to delay than the aged sinner.
