O Lord let me not sink into total depravity, look down upon me, and rescue me at last from the captivity of sin. Impart to me good resolutions, and give me strength and perseverance to perform them. Take not from me Thy Holy Spirit, but grant that I may redeem the time lost, and that by temperance and diligence, by sincere repentance and faithful obedience I may finally attain everlasting happiness, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a series on the church:  The task to which we are called is not the sacrifice of any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7840]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concluding a series on the church:  The task to which we are called is not the sacrifice of any principle in which we firmly believe. It is rather to return to Christ not a figure of the imagination, but the Christ of the Scriptures and to listen to His voice in obedience, to discover afresh what is the Truth. All unpretentious Bible study, every effort to disseminate a true scriptural theology, and every earnest prayer is part of the task of promoting that unity which is truly Christian. We must not envisage Christian Unity as consisting of faroff and doubtful schemes, but as something very nigh which affects us all. If we are really to seek for Christian Unity, we must be prepared to pay the cost. For it must be based upon love, and love is always costly. It will never be attained until there is "far more humility, far more thought, far more self-sacrifice, and far more prayer, than there is at present." (Streeter) If we are right in the conclusion that such disunion as has been sinful in the history of the Church has been due to pride, selfassertion, and contempt for God's Word and commandment, then it follows that the way to the unity which God wills [is] through humility, love of the brethren, and obedience to the Divine Revelation. When Christians pray to be shown where they have been wrong, proud, complaisant, or censorious, and to be put right; when they meet for common counsel and study of the Word, in the spirit of obedience and prepared to subject their individual opinions to the guidance of the Spirit; where the strong are willing to foster and strengthen the weak; and where all are seeking the common good rather than their own sectional interests: then the pathway to unity will become plain, and God will grant His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has to be a certain amount of common sense.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadayssaying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17895]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadayssaying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1007]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  There is no longer any room in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  There is no longer any room in the world for a merely external form of Christianity, based upon custom.
