Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal is to create a new use for the manure that's surrounding the town ? as a biofuel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33365]]></link><description><![CDATA[The goal is to create a new use for the manure that's surrounding the town ? as a biofuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow.

First behold thyself diligently in the law of God, and see there thy just damnation. Secondarily, turn thine eyes to Christ, and see there the exceeding mercy of thy most kind and loving Father. Thirdly, remember that Christ made not this atonement that thou shouldest anger God again; neither cleansed he thee, that thou shouldest return (as a swine) unto thine old puddle again: but that thou shouldest be a new creature and live a new life after the will of God and not of the flesh.

This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.
