By their emphasis upon the primacy of individual justification, they deny the immediate social character and impact of the justification of the Jews and Gentiles, and they obstruct or delay the changes in common life which belong to the "new creation".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[has no knowledge of the facts of the murder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36854]]></link><description><![CDATA[has no knowledge of the facts of the murder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2205]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All his reverend wit Lies in his wardrobe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58574]]></link><description><![CDATA[All his reverend wit Lies in his wardrobe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of England! who inherit Rights that cost your sires their blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of England! who inherit Rights that cost your sires their blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dave had a financial plan for 10 years before it all came together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dave had a financial plan for 10 years before it all came together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Pitt then boast of his victory to his nation of shopkeepers--(Nation Boutiquiere). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Pitt then boast of his victory to his nation of shopkeepers--(Nation Boutiquiere).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then we started going once a month to Pennsylvania and would practice reading commercials and on the runway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then we started going once a month to Pennsylvania and would practice reading commercials and on the runway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos is the score upon which reality is written. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good marriage is like a good trade: Each thinks he got the better deal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26416]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good marriage is like a good trade: Each thinks he got the better deal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is power if you know about the right person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge is power if you know about the right person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a good feeling about the new cabinet, especially as the reformists are still around.

All the atrocious crimes committed in years of peace -- all that is spent in peace by the secret corruptions or by the thoughtless extravagances of nations -- are mere trifles compared with the gigantic evils which stalk over the world in a state of war.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is mainly going to alleviate overcrowding at Double Churches.

When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21218]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're hoping for a good turnout and looking for some legislative action for the environment.
