He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, what ecstasy setting fires brings to my body!

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[the number of errors and misjudgments in the lead-up to the publication of the story was so great that firm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33169]]></link><description><![CDATA[the number of errors and misjudgments in the lead-up to the publication of the story was so great that firm action was both justified and necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At boarding school there wasn't much time for much of anything except education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65265]]></link><description><![CDATA[At boarding school there wasn't much time for much of anything except education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Hercules himself must yield to odds; And many strokes, though with a little axe,  Hews down and fells ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46167]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Hercules himself must yield to odds; And many strokes, though with a little axe,  Hews down and fells the hardest-timbered oak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who has nothing for which he willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16687]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who has nothing for which he willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34095]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danger comes on us more speedily when we treat it with contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Danger comes on us more speedily when we treat it with contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17610]]></link><description><![CDATA[In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although they are at different skill levels, working with a traumatized and bereaved population was new for all of them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although they are at different skill levels, working with a traumatized and bereaved population was new for all of them, ...

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a series on God and the human condition:  Those old Greek gods are not just poetry and legend. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concluding a series on God and the human condition:  Those old Greek gods are not just poetry and legend. In them the Ancients personified living realities -- intelligence, beauty, love, or lust, which are still at work in our hearts, and which fashion our persons. The language they speak is that of image and myth, which touches the person much more directly than the explicit language of science and the intellectual dialectic of the modern world. It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commitment becomes hysterical when those who have nothing to give advocate generosity, and those who have nothing to give up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commitment becomes hysterical when those who have nothing to give advocate generosity, and those who have nothing to give up preach renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52307</guid></item></channel></rss>
