Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The war is history, the Iran-Iraq borders should turn into borders of peace and friendship, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41295]]></link><description><![CDATA[The war is history, the Iran-Iraq borders should turn into borders of peace and friendship,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Tim and I moved back to Illinois in 2003, my little brother started playing on bass.

There is a total difference between surviving sin and reigning sin, the regenerate in conflict with sin and the unregenerate complacent to sin. It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin. It is of paramount concern for the Christian and for the interests of his sanctification that he should know that sin does not have the dominion over him, that the forces of redeeming, regenerative, and sanctifying grace have been brought to bear upon him in that which is central in his moral and spiritual being, that he is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and that Christ has been formed in him the hope of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46483]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most serious charge which can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61484]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most serious charge which can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My son already knows how to program my phone.
