Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16979]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Every true prayer has its background and its foreground.

The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship, of itself a holy tie, Is made more sacred by adversity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship, of itself a holy tie, Is made more sacred by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears;  The rose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rose is fairest when 'tis budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears;  The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew,   And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roche is providing innovation.

In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty. -Twelfth Night.
