It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of so knowing Christ that they have Him in them saving them, they lie wasting themselves in soul-sickening self-examination ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of so knowing Christ that they have Him in them saving them, they lie wasting themselves in soul-sickening self-examination as to whether they are believers, whether they are really trusting in the Atonement, whether they are truly sorry for their sins -- the way to madness of the brain and despair of the heart... Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The open mind never acts: when we have done our utmost to arrive at a reasonable conclusion, we still. . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The open mind never acts: when we have done our utmost to arrive at a reasonable conclusion, we still. . . must close our minds for the moment with a snap, and act dogmatically on our conclusions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[That could be the situation throughout the game, but Razorbacks defensive backs coach Bobby Allen said the defense expects to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30338]]></link><description><![CDATA[[That could be the situation throughout the game, but Razorbacks defensive backs coach Bobby Allen said the defense expects to keep its usual scheme.] We match up our corners vs. wide receivers in everything we do.

God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the arm which won the victory he protects the vanquished. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50813]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the arm which won the victory he protects the vanquished.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst reconciliation is better than the best divorce ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12608]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst reconciliation is better than the best divorce]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752   The purpose of the covenant, in the Hebrew Bible and some subsequent writings, was never simply that the creator wanted to have Israel as a special people, irrespective of the fate of the rest of the world.
