The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Am I surprised by how slow he's moving?

Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry about being better; bigger will take care of itself.
