Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States has requested NATO relief support in the form of food supplies.

This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light.

I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know thy opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know thy opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If our greatest hungers were to be granted as easily as our bodily needs, we certainly would never be able ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29449]]></link><description><![CDATA[If our greatest hungers were to be granted as easily as our bodily needs, we certainly would never be able to achieve the noble feelings of friendship and love.Patience will make the banquet of life ever so much more resplendent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world -- A small parenthesis in eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14220]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world -- A small parenthesis in eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14220</guid></item></channel></rss>
