Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In her experience all her friends relied, Heaven was her help and nature was her guide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14675]]></link><description><![CDATA[In her experience all her friends relied, Heaven was her help and nature was her guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It ain't over till it's over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13776]]></link><description><![CDATA[It ain't over till it's over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[EPIPHANY If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still of countless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7596]]></link><description><![CDATA[EPIPHANY If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still of countless price God will provide for sacrifice.

I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must put myself in a train of doing... and thereby keep the machine in motion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38835]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must put myself in a train of doing... and thereby keep the machine in motion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326    (1) God's children ought to walk in constant amazement of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326    (1) God's children ought to walk in constant amazement of spirit as to God, His nature, and works. (2) The glorifying of God is the great work of God's children. (3) Delightful privacy with God argues strong affection. (4) Frequent prayer an argument of much of God's Spirit; true prayer is the pouring out of the heart to God; God's children are most in private with God; the prayers of God's people most respect spiritual mercies; God's people wait for and rest in God's answer. (5) God's people are sensible of their unworthiness. (6) God Himself is regarded as the portion of His people. (7) Ready obedience to God. (8) The patience of God's children under God's hand. (9) The mournful confession of God's people. (10) God's people long after God in an open profession of His ordinances. (11) Their hearts are ready and prepared.

There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books!
