Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first thing people need to know is that they do not have to make any changes if they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33616]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first thing people need to know is that they do not have to make any changes if they are happy with their health care plan today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't say what God is, but a name That somehow answers us when we are driven To feel and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17704]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't say what God is, but a name That somehow answers us when we are driven To feel and think how little we have to do With what we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the way it's been all year.

This is particularly true when the opportunities for self-advancement are relatively meager, and one's individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for. Such persons sooner or later turn their backs on an individual existence and strive to acquire a sense of worth and a purpose by an identification with a holy cause, a leader, or a movement. The faith and pride they derive from such an identification serve them as substitutes for the unattainable self-confidence and self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus Nero went up and down Greece and challenged the fiddlers at their trade.

We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary.
