The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  However the gospel may be defended, it cannot be defended by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Petroc, Abbot of Padstow, 6th century  However the gospel may be defended, it cannot be defended by concessions which deprive it of its essence or which detract from our Saviour's title to be called The Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now will I show myself to have more of the serpent than the dove; that is, more knave than fool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now will I show myself to have more of the serpent than the dove; that is, more knave than fool.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ooh, that was just a little phase (smashing plates to relieve pain).

(4) Frequent prayer an argument of much of God's Spirit; true prayer is the pouring out of the heart to God; God's children are most in private with God; the prayers of God's people most respect spiritual mercies; God's people wait for and rest in God's answer. (5) God's people are sensible of their unworthiness. (6) God Himself is regarded as the portion of His people. (7) Ready obedience to God. (8) The patience of God's children under God's hand. (9) The mournful confession of God's people. (10) God's people long after God in an open profession of His ordinances. (11) Their hearts are ready and prepared.
