This introduces a third criterion of the Spirit, and on the wider stage of the moral life. It is loyalty to the moral ideal of Christ. "If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk" (Gal. 5:25). Where the Spirit dwells, it produces a new, a higher, a unique type of moral life. For Paul, the Christian life was not the normal and natural product of human activity, but a gracious divine gift, received by the descent of the Spirit into the human heart, for "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23). And there is yet one higher manifestation of the Spirit, the participation in the divine sonship of Jesus Christ. "And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6). Where sonship is, there the Spirit is. On the other hand, "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:l4). Where the Spirit leads, there sonship is... The possession of the Spirit and participation in Christ's sonship are but two aspects of the same experience. Here, the phenomenon, if it may be so called, bears its own credentials. Sonship is a self-evident work of the Spirit. But the evidence is available only for its owners in order that the Spirit of adoption may attest itself to others, it must issue in the life according to the Spirit, by walking in the spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who dare to love their country, and be poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who dare to love their country, and be poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would suspect that, come next spring, we'll put the final touches on it, clean it up and be ready ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35598]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would suspect that, come next spring, we'll put the final touches on it, clean it up and be ready to play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And sure the Eternal Master found The single talent well employ'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44865]]></link><description><![CDATA[And sure the Eternal Master found The single talent well employ'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One murder made a villain, Millions a hero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50942]]></link><description><![CDATA[One murder made a villain, Millions a hero.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion is universal humanity.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688  But upon a day the good providence of God did cast me to Bedford to work on my calling, and in one of the streets of that town I came where there were three or four poor women sitting at a door in the sun and talking about the things of God; and being now willing to hear them discourse, I drew near to hear what they said, for I was now a brisk talker also myself in the matters of religion. But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While traveling near Tampa, Florida I passed the "Jehovah's Witness Assembly Hall" and was struck by the fact that that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53546]]></link><description><![CDATA[While traveling near Tampa, Florida I passed the "Jehovah's Witness Assembly Hall" and was struck by the fact that that must be where they make them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our advice is that the replacement of turf that has taken place over the last 48 hours is going to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our advice is that the replacement of turf that has taken place over the last 48 hours is going to solve the problem for this weekend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are building may splendid churches in this country, but we are not providing leaders to run them.

The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird of Jove, stoop'd from his aery tour, Two birds of gayest plume before him drove. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13096]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird of Jove, stoop'd from his aery tour, Two birds of gayest plume before him drove.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Follow a shadow, it still flies you, Seem to fly, it will pursue:  So court a mistress, she denies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Follow a shadow, it still flies you, Seem to fly, it will pursue:  So court a mistress, she denies you;   Let her alone, she will court you.    Say are not women truly, then,     Styled but the shadows of us men?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life can be seen your eyes butit is not fully appreciated until it is seen through your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life can be seen your eyes butit is not fully appreciated until it is seen through your heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17035]]></link><description><![CDATA[We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17035</guid></item></channel></rss>
