Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it!

There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The circumstances changed when I heard the other proposals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40436]]></link><description><![CDATA[The circumstances changed when I heard the other proposals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry and stress affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system, and profoundly affects heart action. -Charles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worry and stress affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system, and profoundly affects heart action. -Charles W.
