Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seeing a more pronounced dichotomy between full-featured boxes that are used by pay-TV providers to offer other services ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42649]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are seeing a more pronounced dichotomy between full-featured boxes that are used by pay-TV providers to offer other services in addition to satellite TV reception and basic boxes for TV reception only.

The Voice of God, however, is alive and free as the sovereign God is free. "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." The life is in the speaking words. God's word in the Bible can have power only because it corresponds to God's word in the universe.

The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Human and human-minded as men were, therefore, to whichever side ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Human and human-minded as men were, therefore, to whichever side they looked in the sensible world, they found themselves taught the truth. Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest people will be those who possess the best capacities, cultivated with the best habits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52135]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest people will be those who possess the best capacities, cultivated with the best habits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few misfortunes can befall a boy which bring worse consequences than to have a really affectionate mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few misfortunes can befall a boy which bring worse consequences than to have a really affectionate mother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rate at which a person can mature is directly proportional to the embarrassment he can tolerate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13719]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rate at which a person can mature is directly proportional to the embarrassment he can tolerate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conglomerates and cyclical companies have been on the spot lately and after today's industrial data, they once again became a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conglomerates and cyclical companies have been on the spot lately and after today's industrial data, they once again became a good buying opportunity.
