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[As kids we're not taught how to deal with success; we're taught how to deal with failure.

For when we kneel and cast our care Upon our God in humble prayer,   With strengthened souls we rise, Sure that our Father Who is nigh, To hear the ravens when they cry,   Will hear His children's cries. O may these anxious hearts of ours The lesson learn from birds and flowers,   And learn from self to cease, Leave all things to our Father's will, And in His mercy trusting still,   Find in each trial peace!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What man knows is everywhere at war with what he wants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11981]]></link><description><![CDATA[What man knows is everywhere at war with what he wants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd be under the nearest table the second I felt the first shudder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30384]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd be under the nearest table the second I felt the first shudder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have no idea what level of concern this industry has for pedestrians.
