But the substance of that covenant is all pure mercy and grace. If men presume to claim for themselves, upon the basis of the covenant, some relationship with God other than that of the sinner needing God's grace, the covenant has been perverted. And when that has happened, God, in the sovereign freedom of His grace, destroy these pretensions, calls "No people" to be His people, breaks off natural branches and grafts in wild slips, filling them with the life that is His own life imparted to man. There is no law in His Kingdom save the law of pure grace. That is why they come from east and west to sit down with Abraham and Isaac, while the sons of the Kingdom are cast out; for the sons of the Kingdom have no place there unless they are willing to sit down with all whom the Lord of the feast shall call, and to receive His mercy in exactly the same way as the publicans and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unbeing dead isn't being alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unbeing dead isn't being alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though old and wise, yet still advise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though old and wise, yet still advise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was outstanding all around.

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[When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27231]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone.
