Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is circumstances (difficulties) which show what men are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8709]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is circumstances (difficulties) which show what men are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we have begun to take charge of our lives, to own ourselves, there is no longer any need to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/994]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we have begun to take charge of our lives, to own ourselves, there is no longer any need to ask permission of someone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the most important duty?

And, in that case, we ought frankly to affirm that, though the New Testament is an amazing witness to the religious creativity of the human spirit, its actual message is more wrong than right, more misleading than helpful; and we must reconstruct our gospel accordingly.
