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[As things stand, there is no consistent evidence that there is an increased risk of cancer associated with mobile phone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30797]]></link><description><![CDATA[As things stand, there is no consistent evidence that there is an increased risk of cancer associated with mobile phone use, but we need to recognise that the statistics are not enormous.

So burdened were men with their wickedness that they seemed rather to be brute beasts than reasonable men, reflecting the very likeness of the Word. What, then, was God to do? What else could He possibly do, being God, but renew His Image in mankind, so that through it men might once more come to know Him? And how could this be done save by the coming of the very Image Himself, our Savior Jesus Christ?... Men had turned from the contemplation of God above, and were looking for Him in two opposite directions, down among created things, and things of sense. The Savior of us all, the Word of God, in His great love took to Himself a body and moved as Man among men, meeting their senses, so to speak, half-way. He became Himself an object for the senses, so that those who were seeking God in sensible things might apprehend the Father through the works which He, the Word of God, did in the body.

Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither irony nor sarcasm is argument. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23076]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither irony nor sarcasm is argument.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60063]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20795]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There should be no strife with the vanquished or the dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51830]]></link><description><![CDATA[There should be no strife with the vanquished or the dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63041]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28061]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot explicitly link the recent terrorist attacks to the September 11 hijackers, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38746]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot explicitly link the recent terrorist attacks to the September 11 hijackers,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9815]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is next to the gods whom reason, and not passion, impels; and who, after weighing the facts, can measure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52558]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is next to the gods whom reason, and not passion, impels; and who, after weighing the facts, can measure the punishment with discretion. [Lat., Diis proximus ille est  Quem ratio non ira movet: qui factor rependens   Consilio punire potest.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a great tournament for us to get our feet wet and have the kids get some work against good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38210]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a great tournament for us to get our feet wet and have the kids get some work against good ball teams.
