For when the heart really pants and longs after God, its prayer is a praying, as moved and animated by the Spirit of God; it is the breath or inspiration of God, stirring, moving and opening itself in the heart. For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we have an opportunity to play the larger schools, they see the difference is just not there.

I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains." Wherefore we must needs suffer pain with Christ to do our neighbor good, as well with the body and all his members, as with heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All God's revelations are sealed to us until they are opened to us by obedience.

You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with some of us is that we have been inoculated with small doses of Christianity which keep us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6869]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with some of us is that we have been inoculated with small doses of Christianity which keep us from catching the real thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The puck hadn't been going in lately.
