If God does not will that we should be united, what can our devices for producing it avail?

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is like a butterfly.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take up the cross if thou the crown would'st gain. [Lat., Tolle crucem, qui vis auferre coronam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take up the cross if thou the crown would'st gain. [Lat., Tolle crucem, qui vis auferre coronam.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anecdotes are sometimes the best vehicles of truth, and if striking and appropriate, are often more impressive and powerful than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anecdotes are sometimes the best vehicles of truth, and if striking and appropriate, are often more impressive and powerful than argument]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2510</guid></item></channel></rss>
