A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.

We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bedside manners are no substitute for the right diagnosis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bedside manners are no substitute for the right diagnosis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If she didn't have that sort of access, the outcomes could have been different as she went through the Games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31221]]></link><description><![CDATA[If she didn't have that sort of access, the outcomes could have been different as she went through the Games.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have learned to whittle the Eden Tree to the shape of a surplice peg, We have learned to bottle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3191]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have learned to whittle the Eden Tree to the shape of a surplice peg, We have learned to bottle our parent twain in the yelk of an addled egg.  We know that the tail must wag the dog, for the horse is drawn by the cart,   But the devil never whoops, as he of old; It's clever, but is it art?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When personal judgment is inoperative (or forbidden), men's first concern is not how to choose, but how to justify their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23487]]></link><description><![CDATA[When personal judgment is inoperative (or forbidden), men's first concern is not how to choose, but how to justify their choice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was an outsider.

The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning.
