If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We absolutely miss him.

Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54837]]></link><description><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid us defiance,   Old questions of Why and of Whence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you load responsibility on a man unworthy of it he will always betray himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/914]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you load responsibility on a man unworthy of it he will always betray himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I think about Zeal, he was the most honest and fair man I had ever known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31857]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I think about Zeal, he was the most honest and fair man I had ever known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just got so conditioned over the last few years to getting multiple offers so quickly that we forgot what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36938]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just got so conditioned over the last few years to getting multiple offers so quickly that we forgot what a realistic market is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody expects it to take real long, but it takes a while to build a program anywhere.
