Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Al-Ki [Indian word meaning "by and by"] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Al-Ki [Indian word meaning "by and by"]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For nothing human foreign was to him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19960]]></link><description><![CDATA[For nothing human foreign was to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst of failure of this kind is that it spoils the market for more competent performers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36980]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst of failure of this kind is that it spoils the market for more competent performers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

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/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things change.

The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does not know the godlessness of men. And so it also does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. Only the Christian knows this. In the presence of a psychiatrist I can only be a sick man; in the presence of a Christian brother, I can dare to be a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A learned man has always wealth in himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61439]]></link><description><![CDATA[A learned man has always wealth in himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility,then Athens ceased to be free and was never free ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22327]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility,then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5270]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[At the Old-Time Radio Convention, which expects 600 attendees this weekend, leaders have begun inviting television stars -- over the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29667]]></link><description><![CDATA[[At the Old-Time Radio Convention, which expects 600 attendees this weekend, leaders have begun inviting television stars -- over the objections of purists who argue that only radio performers should be welcome.] If it becomes 'Friends of Old-Time Television,' I'm out of there, ...
