It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life. And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Father! no prophet's laws I seek,-- Thy laws in Nature's works appear;--  I own myself corrupt and weak,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Father! no prophet's laws I seek,-- Thy laws in Nature's works appear;--  I own myself corrupt and weak,   Yet will I pray, for thou wilt hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be scared of situations you get into that are bigger than you can possibly imagine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't be scared of situations you get into that are bigger than you can possibly imagine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are what their mothers made them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are what their mothers made them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, 1932  Any such distinction between disreputable and respectable sins...

The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Stag in the Ox-StallA stag, roundly chased by the hounds and blinded by fear to the danger he was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Stag in the Ox-StallA stag, roundly chased by the hounds and blinded by fear to the danger he was running into, took shelter in a farmyard and hid himself in a shed among the oxen. An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11230]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we speak of the commerce with our colonies, fiction lags after truth, invention is unfruitful, and imagination cold and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5019]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we speak of the commerce with our colonies, fiction lags after truth, invention is unfruitful, and imagination cold and barren.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5019</guid></item></channel></rss>
