The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jeremiah refutes the popular, modern notion that the end of religion is an integrated personality, freed of its fears, its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jeremiah refutes the popular, modern notion that the end of religion is an integrated personality, freed of its fears, its doubts, and its frustrations. Certainly Jeremiah was no integrated personality. It is doubtful if... he ever knew the meaning of the word "peace". We have no evidence that his internal struggle was ever ended, although the passing years no doubt brought an increasing acceptance of destiny. Jeremiah, if his "confessions" are any index, needed a course in pastoral psychiatry in the very worst way... The feeling cannot be escaped that if Jeremiah had been integrated, it would have been at the cost of ceasing to be Jeremiah! A man at peace simply could not be a Jeremiah. Spiritual health is good; mental assurance is good; but the summons of faith is neither to an integrated personality nor to the laying-by of all questions, but to the dedication of personality -- with all its fears and questions -- to its duty and destiny under God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret forthe things we did not do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret forthe things we did not do that is inconsolable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22598</guid></item></channel></rss>
