I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In our day the conventional element in literature is elaborately disguised by a law of copyright pretending that every work ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25326]]></link><description><![CDATA[In our day the conventional element in literature is elaborately disguised by a law of copyright pretending that every work of art is an invention distinctive enough to be patented.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year I lost three top guys, ... because I let them walk out of here.

It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63215]]></link><description><![CDATA[If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among the crooked lanes, on every hedge, The glow-worm lights his gem; and through the dark,  A moving radiance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among the crooked lanes, on every hedge, The glow-worm lights his gem; and through the dark,  A moving radiance twinkles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They all seem to be doing OK.

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[You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house and if you got a glass jaw, you should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52963]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house and if you got a glass jaw, you should watch yo mouth: cause I'll break yo face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26250]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well?
