For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45506]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. -Harry S Truman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the letter is genuine.

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would call this a unique opportunity for people who want to use the property for 60 or 90 days ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30954]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would call this a unique opportunity for people who want to use the property for 60 or 90 days a year.
