Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prettiness dies first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prettiness dies first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some say, compared to Bononcini, That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny;  Others aver, that he to Handel   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some say, compared to Bononcini, That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny;  Others aver, that he to Handel   Is scarcely fit to hold a Candle:    Strange all this difference should be,     'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair of ever being saved, "except thou be born again," or of seeing God "without holiness," or of having part ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despair of ever being saved, "except thou be born again," or of seeing God "without holiness," or of having part in Christ except thou "love him above father, mother, or thy own life."
