That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are actually hoping that the special session will work to educators' benefit in that something positive needs to happen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34564]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are actually hoping that the special session will work to educators' benefit in that something positive needs to happen in order for (Perry's) re-election to occur.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three terrible ages of childhood - 1 to 10, 10 to 20, and 20 to 30. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32019]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three terrible ages of childhood - 1 to 10, 10 to 20, and 20 to 30.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, they are taking care of me.
