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[Whether goest, griefe? where I am

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This case may also be notable for the chutzpah of the Assistant United States Attorney in advancing as a reason ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53131]]></link><description><![CDATA[This case may also be notable for the chutzpah of the Assistant United States Attorney in advancing as a reason for striking a juror that, "I have a P rule, I never accept anyone whose occupation begins with a P.

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. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to be pleased with everything; with wealth, so far as it makes us beneficial to others; with poverty, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn to be pleased with everything; with wealth, so far as it makes us beneficial to others; with poverty, for not having much to care for, and with obscurity, for being unenvied.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vicissitudes of fortune, which spares neither man nor the proudest of his works, which buries empires and cities in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vicissitudes of fortune, which spares neither man nor the proudest of his works, which buries empires and cities in a common grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a law were passed giving six months to every writer of a first book, only the good ones would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4600]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a law were passed giving six months to every writer of a first book, only the good ones would do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4600</guid></item></channel></rss>
