He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the exception a few individuals, most of the defendants prefer to remain silent when asked to enter plea of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28425]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the exception a few individuals, most of the defendants prefer to remain silent when asked to enter plea of guilty or not guilty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A government is the only known vessel that leaks from the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18036]]></link><description><![CDATA[A government is the only known vessel that leaks from the top.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss But cheerly seek how to redress their harms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss But cheerly seek how to redress their harms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an increase, but it's not a huge increase.

Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief  That thou her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief  That thou her maid art far more fair than she.   Be not her maid, since she is envious.    Her vestal livery is but sick and green,     And none but fools do wear it.
