What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This allows the students to receive an education tomorrow if they so choose, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39885]]></link><description><![CDATA[This allows the students to receive an education tomorrow if they so choose,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Anne & Joachim, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary  If the Holy Spirit can take over the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Anne & Joachim, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary  If the Holy Spirit can take over the subconscious with our consent and cooperation, then we have almighty Power working at the basis of our lives, then we can do anything we ought to do, go anywhere we ought to go, and be anything we ought to be. Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rolling fictions grow in strength and size, Each author adding to the former lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rolling fictions grow in strength and size, Each author adding to the former lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a short series on education:   The devout student is the best of all students.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of us are watchers -- of television, of time clocks, of traffic on the freeway -- but few are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46322]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of us are watchers -- of television, of time clocks, of traffic on the freeway -- but few are observers.

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice.
