What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.

Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"?

The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10890]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in books or embodied in customs, institutions and monuments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quiet mind cureth all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56292]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quiet mind cureth all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to sing like you don't need the money, love like you'll never get hurt.
