How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The itch of disputing is the scab of the Church. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The itch of disputing is the scab of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61460]]></link><description><![CDATA[The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when it comes time to play, you have to be ready.

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what's romance?
