He looked through the lattice of our flesh and he spake us fair, yea, he set us on fire, and we hasten on his scent. But when he shall appear, then shall we be like him, for we shall see him as he is: as he is, Lord, will our sight be, though the time be not yet.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine June 19, 1996 Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  Many we have who plead themselves to be Christians. This might be allowed them, would they not do such things as the Christian religion abhors. But this is the least part of their claim. They will also be the only Christians, all others who differ from them -- however so falsely called -- being only a drove of unbelievers, hastening unto hell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never worry about action, but only about inaction ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20682]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never worry about action, but only about inaction]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Prayer is co-operation with God.

It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Photography is truth.

When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The actual shelters are being run very well, with thousands of very big-hearted, generous volunteers, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30186]]></link><description><![CDATA[The actual shelters are being run very well, with thousands of very big-hearted, generous volunteers,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eloquence enough, but little wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eloquence enough, but little wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51072</guid></item></channel></rss>
