The world wants to see redemption: it is not interested in being talked to about it. A church which is not outward looking... has ceased to be a church as the Body of Christ and has instead become a club for the benefit of its members.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even bear-baiting was esteemed heathenish and unchristian: the sport of it, not the inhumanity, gave offence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even bear-baiting was esteemed heathenish and unchristian: the sport of it, not the inhumanity, gave offence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know it's got a lot of sports fields.

I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now these be the last words of David.

The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great Pompey's shade complains that we are slow, And Scipio's ghost walks unavenged amongst us! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great Pompey's shade complains that we are slow, And Scipio's ghost walks unavenged amongst us!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like driftwood spares which meet and pass Upon the boundless ocean-plain,  So on the sea of life, alas!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like driftwood spares which meet and pass Upon the boundless ocean-plain,  So on the sea of life, alas!   Man nears man, meets, and leaves again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream That this watch exists and has no watchmaker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10581]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream That this watch exists and has no watchmaker.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death comes to all but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death comes to all but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20396]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unhappiness is in not knowing what we want and killing ourselves toget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unhappiness is in not knowing what we want and killing ourselves toget it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intolerance is the most socially acceptable form of egotism, for it permits us to assume superiority without personal boasting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intolerance is the most socially acceptable form of egotism, for it permits us to assume superiority without personal boasting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1003</guid></item></channel></rss>
