For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't use others as a crutch, for we must all go our own ways at one point or another, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't use others as a crutch, for we must all go our own ways at one point or another, and when they go you will inevitably fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's certainly not our intention to inconvenience folks.

His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere.
