All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37229]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are praying for them and their family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40063]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are praying for them and their family.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is one of those things that cannot be bought.

As he passed along,the crowd made lowly prostration before the Image. The Ass,thinking that they bowed their heads in token of respect forhimself, bristled up with pride, gave himself airs, and refusedto move another step. The driver, seeing him thus stop, laid hiswhip lustily about his shoulders and said, O you perversedull-head! it is not yet come to this, that men pay worship to anAss. They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14566]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I could remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The present joys of life we doubly taste by looking back with pleasure on the past ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41490]]></link><description><![CDATA[The present joys of life we doubly taste by looking back with pleasure on the past]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every woman is like a timezone.
