He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do the best you can to make the transition as easy as possible.

It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall I say to Caesar What you require of him?

The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never befriend the oppressed unless you are prepared to take on the oppressor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never befriend the oppressed unless you are prepared to take on the oppressor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although it is still early, we are beginning to notice a negative trend in our weekly revisit rates. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although it is still early, we are beginning to notice a negative trend in our weekly revisit rates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us--and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us--and those around us -- more effectively.
