(2) The glorifying of God is the great work of God's children. (3) Delightful privacy with God argues strong affection. (4) Frequent prayer an argument of much of God's Spirit; true prayer is the pouring out of the heart to God; God's children are most in private with God; the prayers of God's people most respect spiritual mercies; God's people wait for and rest in God's answer. (5) God's people are sensible of their unworthiness. (6) God Himself is regarded as the portion of His people. (7) Ready obedience to God. (8) The patience of God's children under God's hand. (9) The mournful confession of God's people. (10) God's people long after God in an open profession of His ordinances. (11) Their hearts are ready and prepared.

We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I contemplate the interposition of Providence, as it was visibly manifested, in guiding us through the Revolution, in preparing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51910]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I contemplate the interposition of Providence, as it was visibly manifested, in guiding us through the Revolution, in preparing us for the reception of a general government, and in conciliating the good will of the People of America towards one]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All we lacked was a goal.
