We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  Much of today's Christianity is almost completely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  Much of today's Christianity is almost completely earthbound, and the words of Jesus about what follows this life are scarcely studied at all. This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is patiently making my mask as I sleep.
