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[Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They mostly recruit distance runners.
