As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When sparrows build and the leaves break forth My old sorrow wakes and cries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57253]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sparrows build and the leaves break forth My old sorrow wakes and cries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not Arafat's business, ...

This is a synthesis of New Testament grace and Old Testament ethics. With this synthesis, Protestants have solved the problem of finding a gracious God, but they have not solved the problem of finding gracious neighbors. They can fellowship with God because he is gracious; but they find it difficult to fellowship with one another, because they are not so gracious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43859]]></link><description><![CDATA[A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the toughest golfer mentally. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57759]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the toughest golfer mentally.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16859]]></link><description><![CDATA[Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body is the shell of the soul, and dress the husk of that shell; but the husk often tells ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12964]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body is the shell of the soul, and dress the husk of that shell; but the husk often tells what the kernel is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is an insult to human dignity.

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether goest, griefe? where I am wont. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether goest, griefe? where I am wont.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I liked the feeling of being in the middle of trouble and trying to find a way out.
