We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speech is silvern, silence is golden. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speech is silvern, silence is golden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lawn as white as driven snow, Cyprus black as e'er was crow,  Gloves as sweet as damask roses,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lawn as white as driven snow, Cyprus black as e'er was crow,  Gloves as sweet as damask roses,   Masks for faces and for noses,    Bugle bracelet, necklace amber,     Perfume for a lady's chamber,      Golden quoifs and stomachers       For my lads to give their dears,        Pins and poking-sticks of steel,         What maids lack from head to heel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43476]]></link><description><![CDATA[After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With bated breath we offer wicked vows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50597]]></link><description><![CDATA[With bated breath we offer wicked vows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Complaint is the largest tribute Heaven receives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Complaint is the largest tribute Heaven receives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;  Though every prospect pleases,   And only man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62308]]></link><description><![CDATA[What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;  Though every prospect pleases,   And only man is vile;    In vain with lavish kindness     The gifts of God are strown;      The heathen in his blindness       Bows down to wood and stone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a good draft class.

It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a crazy world we live in!
