From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything happened so fast, ...

Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More and more, churches have become gathering places that offer a panoply of services, and one of them is retail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30192]]></link><description><![CDATA[More and more, churches have become gathering places that offer a panoply of services, and one of them is retail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4886]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of that is gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41154]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of that is gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more people who know about it, the more help we can get.
