The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a normal childhood?

It was that sense which, without irreverence, I have thought to find expressed by the great evangelists when they speak of the fear of God. One does not fear God because He is terrible, but because He is literally the soul of goodness and truth, because to do Him wrong is to do wrong to some mysterious part of oneself, and one does not know exactly what the consequences may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24183]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are more readers of the English Bible in this country than in any other, and the time seemed to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6476]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are more readers of the English Bible in this country than in any other, and the time seemed to me to have come for a frank and direct translation of the Greek New Testament into our modern spoken American English.
