This is the best outward prayer book you can have, as it will turn you to an inward book, and spirit of prayer in your heart, which is a continual longing desire of the heart after God, his divine life, and Holy Spirit. When, for the sake of this inward prayer, you retire at any time of the day, never begin till you know and feel, why and wherefore you are going to pray; and let this why and wherefore, form and direct everything that comes from you, whether it be in thought or in word.

To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever discovers the depths of his own loneliness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44162]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one ever discovers the depths of his own loneliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a slap in the face to the County Commission and to all the people that you misinformed. ...
