Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The field conditions were terrible and the girls were freezing cold, but they were able to overcome that.

When summarized in a few neat words or phrases, these gems of wisdom become substitutes for thought, and gradually take on much of the status of revealed truth. Occasionally, some iconoclast sees fit to challenge one of them, and a brief flurry ensues, after which things go on about as before. It is easy to think of plenty of ideas that are passing, if they have not already passed, beyond the stage of effective discussion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61215]]></link><description><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Set good against evill. [Set good against evil.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Set good against evill. [Set good against evil.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gracie comes home from the hospital after visiting a sick friend.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is memory and metaphor ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is memory and metaphor]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61038]]></link><description><![CDATA[No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61038</guid></item></channel></rss>
