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/7987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be a Negro in America is to hope against hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1691]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be a Negro in America is to hope against hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great question for us now is, Do we believe in that love of God which Christ taught by His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great question for us now is, Do we believe in that love of God which Christ taught by His words, and of which His followers saw in His voluntary death a crowning manifestation? And remember that even belief in the love of God will do us no good unless it awakes answering love in ourselves -- unless it adds to our hatred of the sin which separates us from God and increases our love of other men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661]]></link><description><![CDATA[The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth!

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is someone who can sing you the song of your heart when you've forgotten it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17001]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is someone who can sing you the song of your heart when you've forgotten it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Estate in two parishes is bread in two wallets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Estate in two parishes is bread in two wallets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love my children.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A region of repose it seems, A place of slumber and of dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20995]]></link><description><![CDATA[A region of repose it seems, A place of slumber and of dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits.
