Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right is its own defense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1347]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right is its own defense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Constitution in all its provisions looks to an indestructible union disposed of indestructible States. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60131]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Constitution in all its provisions looks to an indestructible union disposed of indestructible States.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're an older team and they're a young team.
