But what is Repentance? Not the last and noblest and most refined achievement of the righteousness of men in the service of God, but the first elemental act of the righteousness of God in the service of men; the work that God has written in their hearts and which, because it is from God and not from men, occasions joy in heaven; that looking forward to God, and to Him only, which is recognized only by God and by God Himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can have it all.

There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22990]]></link><description><![CDATA[For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible to you.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did make a few adjustments at halftime, but part of that is probably North had a big lead and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32488]]></link><description><![CDATA[We did make a few adjustments at halftime, but part of that is probably North had a big lead and didn't play with the same intensity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are spending to rebuild their lives, even if they don't have a job or have lost their home.
