This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means of great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head, that softness and idleness were to be avoided, that self-denial was a part of Christianity...

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Selective logging negatively impacts many plants and animals and increases erosion and fires.

From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a convicted felon as the president. ...

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on the Bible:   A man who is well-grounded in the testimonies of the Scripture ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on the Bible:   A man who is well-grounded in the testimonies of the Scripture is the bulwark of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18751]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All growth depends upon activity.
