Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer  In the earthen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48069]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer  In the earthen vessel, holding treasure,   But the main thing is, does it hold good measure    Heaven soon sets right all other matters!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are moments, I'll be home cooking or something, and it comes to me all at once, and I can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29916]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are moments, I'll be home cooking or something, and it comes to me all at once, and I can't believe it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the straight-limbed laugh at the club-footed, the white skinned at the blackamoor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50465]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the straight-limbed laugh at the club-footed, the white skinned at the blackamoor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty Is worth a whole eternity in bondage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24677]]></link><description><![CDATA[A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13632]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a big deal for us all those corny things kids did in those days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33072]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a big deal for us all those corny things kids did in those days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an archery contest, when the stakes are earthenware tiles a contestant shoots with skill.
