But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of Paul's most important teachings... is the doctrine of what we call "justification by faith".

It frequently appears to the non-Christian mind that this is an immoral or at least unmoral doctrine. Paul appears to be saying that a man is justified before God, not by his goodness or badness, not by his good deeds or bad deeds, but by believing in a certain doctrine of Atonement. Of course, when we come to examine the matter more closely, we can see that there is nothing unmoral in this teaching at all. For if "faith" means using a God-given faculty to apprehend the unseen divine order, and means, moreover, involving oneself in that order by personal commitment, we can at once see how different that is from merely accepting a certain view of Christian redemption... That which man in every religion, every century, every country, was powerless to affect, God has achieved by the devastating humility of His action and suffering in Jesus Christ. Now, accepting such an action as a fait accompli is only possible by this perceptive faculty of "faith". It requires not merely intellectual assent but a shifting of personal trust from the achievements of the self to the completely undeserved action of God. To accept this teaching by mind and heart does, indeed, require a metanoia ["transformation"], a revolution in the outlook of both heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some hoisted out the boats, and there was one That begged Pedrillo for an absolution  Who told him to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some hoisted out the boats, and there was one That begged Pedrillo for an absolution  Who told him to be damn'd,--in his confusion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They work rain or shine.

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've never had any well-described Native American corn to compare to the archaeological record. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39433]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've never had any well-described Native American corn to compare to the archaeological record.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can miles truly separate you from friends...

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illusion is the first of the pleasures ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Illusion is the first of the pleasures]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That would not be acceptable for the German government.
