And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is somthing that can not be explained - the force that drives us to protect the ones we care ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is somthing that can not be explained - the force that drives us to protect the ones we care about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do this real moron thing, it's called thinking, and I'm not a very good Amercian because I like to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16652]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do this real moron thing, it's called thinking, and I'm not a very good Amercian because I like to form my own opionions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For you know, nuncle, The hedge-sparrow fed the cuckoo so long  That it's had it head bit off by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57317]]></link><description><![CDATA[For you know, nuncle, The hedge-sparrow fed the cuckoo so long  That it's had it head bit off by it young.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We picked up at the start of the second half the way we finished the first.
