But the Devil has. The Devil knows that as long as he can control human pride it does not matter how many prayer meetings, how many services, how much devotion goes on -- he can still wrack any group of Christians, sooner or later, and frustrate God's purpose for them, and for the world.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn August 11, 1999 Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   Never... think we have a due knowledge of ourselves till we have been exposed to various kinds of temptations, and tried on every side. Integrity on one side of our character is no voucher for integrity on another. We cannot tell how we should act if brought under temptations different from those we have hitherto experienced. This thought should keep us humble. We are sinners, but we do not know how great. He alone knows who died for our sins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11221]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear follows crime, and is its punishment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear follows crime, and is its punishment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a fantastic piece.

Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look back, and all of this doesn't seem real.
