We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that lives to forever, never fears dying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11220]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that lives to forever, never fears dying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are the real architects of society. -Harriet Beecher Stowe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women are the real architects of society. -Harriet Beecher Stowe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60737]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All paths are the same, leading nowhere.

But the substance of that covenant is all pure mercy and grace. If men presume to claim for themselves, upon the basis of the covenant, some relationship with God other than that of the sinner needing God's grace, the covenant has been perverted. And when that has happened, God, in the sovereign freedom of His grace, destroy these pretensions, calls "No people" to be His people, breaks off natural branches and grafts in wild slips, filling them with the life that is His own life imparted to man. There is no law in His Kingdom save the law of pure grace. That is why they come from east and west to sit down with Abraham and Isaac, while the sons of the Kingdom are cast out; for the sons of the Kingdom have no place there unless they are willing to sit down with all whom the Lord of the feast shall call, and to receive His mercy in exactly the same way as the publicans and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy. - Out of My Life and Thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy. - Out of My Life and Thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something terrible happens, and you might say, "God help us!", or "Jesus Christ!" -- the poor, crippled prayers that are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Something terrible happens, and you might say, "God help us!", or "Jesus Christ!" -- the poor, crippled prayers that are hidden in the minor blasphemies of people for whom in every sense God is dead, except that they still have to speak to him, if only through clenched teeth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23439]]></link><description><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers. [Lat., Nec rationem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20160]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers. [Lat., Nec rationem patitur, nec aequitate mitigatur nec ulla prece flectitur, populus esuriens.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flag of the free heart's hope and home! By angel hands to valour given,  Thy stars have lit the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flag of the free heart's hope and home! By angel hands to valour given,  Thy stars have lit the welkin dome;   And all thy hues were born in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This would be a strong political message from the United States ... for what we are doing.
