When I find that so much of my life has stolen unprofitably away, and that I can descry by retrospection scarcely a few single days properly and vigorously employed, why do I yet try to resolve again? I try, because reformation is necessary and despair is criminal. I try, in humble hope of the help of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that God answers prayer? I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself? (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible service to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17364]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hunger that persuades to evil. [Lat., Malesuada fames.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hunger that persuades to evil. [Lat., Malesuada fames.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642  We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642  We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence; but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to color everything we do.

But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first of April, some do say Is set apart for All Fools' day;  But why the people call ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2976]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first of April, some do say Is set apart for All Fools' day;  But why the people call it so,   Nor I, nor they themselves, do know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46683]]></link><description><![CDATA[The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They contacted us, and they've been pretty honest about their progress, or lack thereof.
