Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had turnovers on five of six possessions against Old Mill.

How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great necessities call out great virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great necessities call out great virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a certain naturalness that was happening in the '60s and '70s that felt more like a happening, ... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36480]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a certain naturalness that was happening in the '60s and '70s that felt more like a happening, ...
