Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16988]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competence, like truth, beauty and contact lenses, is in the eye of the beholder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competence, like truth, beauty and contact lenses, is in the eye of the beholder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's just a ball hog.

Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The House of Lords is like a glass of champagne that has stood for five days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The House of Lords is like a glass of champagne that has stood for five days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6039]]></link><description><![CDATA[By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24156]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to old Adam's crystal ale, Clear sparkling and divine,  Fair H2O, long may you flow,   We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to old Adam's crystal ale, Clear sparkling and divine,  Fair H2O, long may you flow,   We think your health (in wine).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22251]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is very uncommon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9024]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is very uncommon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes all doctrines plain and clear?-- About two hundred pounds a year.  And that which was prov'd true ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12628]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes all doctrines plain and clear?-- About two hundred pounds a year.  And that which was prov'd true before   Prove false again?
