Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tho' he inherit Not the pride, nor ample pinion,  That the Theban eagle bear,   Sailing with supreme ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tho' he inherit Not the pride, nor ample pinion,  That the Theban eagle bear,   Sailing with supreme dominion    Thro' the azure deep of air.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18613]]></link><description><![CDATA[It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy.

If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like we are making a crucial step in helping to preserve the Boulder area, and this very special ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38869]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like we are making a crucial step in helping to preserve the Boulder area, and this very special corner of the West.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58757]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Others had contacted her, but these were the two others she seriously considered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Others had contacted her, but these were the two others she seriously considered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5973]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade To paly ashes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51479]]></link><description><![CDATA[The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade To paly ashes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And, e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart, distrusting, asks if this be joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23426]]></link><description><![CDATA[And, e'en while fashion's brightest arts decoy, The heart, distrusting, asks if this be joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nobleness to try for, A name to live and die for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61246]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nobleness to try for, A name to live and die for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.

The question was whether they could be admitted without accepting the teaching and undergoing the rite. It was that question which was settled by the acknowledgement that they had received the Holy Spirit... The difficulty today is that Christians acknowledge that others have the Spirit, and yet do not recognize that they ought to be, and must be -- because spiritually they are -- in communion with one another. Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one way, really, to get into a state of living, and that's live!

There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. And yet it has to be said.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But throw in a very visible company lowering its guidance going forward and the focus shifts back to the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37133]]></link><description><![CDATA[But throw in a very visible company lowering its guidance going forward and the focus shifts back to the same problems of an uncertain economy, uncertain earnings and the Middle East problem, which has not changed,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living with a saint is more grueling than being one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Living with a saint is more grueling than being one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-love seems so often unrequited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-love seems so often unrequited.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence.
