It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world.

They are trying to save the Christians out of this labyrinth by reuniting the divided churches, by forming an alliance of churches, or by trying to form an ecumenical church. For all that, it seems very difficult to obtain the desired result, because all the present churches are still standing on the principles of the Reformation, unable to rid themselves of the sectarian spirit inherited from Catholicism. So the number of denominations and sects shows no sign of decreasing, and all efforts to unite the churches seem likely to end only in the formation of yet other sects and denominations. Yet the center of Christianity is neither institution nor organization. Nor is it even the Bible itself, as the Reformers made it, for the Eklesia existed before the formation of the New Testament canon. Christians were in fellowship with God and one another, centering their faith in Christ, long before there was any accepted New Testament. There is only one center of Christianity -- spiritual fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom begins in wonder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom begins in wonder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd be a butterfly, born in a bower, Where roses and lilies and violets meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5148]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd be a butterfly, born in a bower, Where roses and lilies and violets meet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Will the theater disappear?
