What does that mean? If the law were physical, then it could be satisfied by works, but since it is spiritual, no one can satisfy it unless everything he does springs from the depths of the heart. But no one can give such a heart except the Spirit of God, who makes the person be like the law, so that he actually conceives a heartfelt longing for the law and henceforward does everything, not through fear or coercion, but from a free heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-being for this area was dependent upon tobacco especially in the Pee Dee and in the state of South ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37065]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-being for this area was dependent upon tobacco especially in the Pee Dee and in the state of South Carolina.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are.
