He trusts his own visions. He obeys the attractions of an interior voice but will not listen to other men. He identifies the will of God with anything that makes him feel, within his own heart, a big, warm, sweet interior glow.

The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11783]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person.
