This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It looks like it's coming straight for us in Dominica.

It is here ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continued from yesterday:  The result of all this is that the Christian is a free man. It is here to be observed that the term "freedom" is ambiguous in common usage. It is sometimes used to imply that a man can do just as he likes, undetermined by any external force. To this the determinist replies that as a matter of fact this freedom is so limited by the laws which condition man's empirical existence as to be illusory. The rejoinder from the advocates of free will is that no external force can determine a man's moral conduct (and with mere automatism we are not concerned), unless it is presented in consciousness, and that in being so presented it becomes a desire, a temptation, or a motive. In suffering himself to be determined by these, the man is not submitting to external control, but to something which he has already made a part of himself, for good or ill. When, however, we have said that, we are faced with a further problem. Not all that is desired is desirable, and in being moved by my immediate desire I may be balking myself of that ultimate satisfaction which is the real object of all effort. If that is so, then to "do as I like" may well be no freedom at all. There is a law of our being which forbids satisfaction to be found along that line, as it is written, "He gave them their desire, and sent leanness into their souls." (Ps. 106:15) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women.
