Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Representative Myers has been a true friend to the pork industry, has always been willing to listen to our concerns, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Representative Myers has been a true friend to the pork industry, has always been willing to listen to our concerns, and has been a leader on many important issues related to the pork industry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Within a stone's throw of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Within a stone's throw of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You could call 'show biz,' filmmaking, the original arena for outsourcing because ever since I've been making movies, Hollywood has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34214]]></link><description><![CDATA[You could call 'show biz,' filmmaking, the original arena for outsourcing because ever since I've been making movies, Hollywood has been threatened with outsourcing, be it Italy, be it Australia, New Zealand, and certainly, Canada,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't wait for that first day of practice when everybody steps on that court and we all start on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32250]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't wait for that first day of practice when everybody steps on that court and we all start on that goal of getting to the Final Four.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644  God is especially present in the hearts of His people, by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644  God is especially present in the hearts of His people, by His Holy Spirit; and indeed the hearts of holy men are temples in the truth of things, and in type and shadow they are heaven itself. For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple. [Continued tomorrow]  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 11, 1997  Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  The temple itself is the heart of man, Christ is the high priest, who from thence sends up the incense of prayers, and joins them to His own intercession and presents all together to His Father; and the Holy Ghost by His dwelling there hath also consecrated it into a temple; and God dwells in our hearts by faith, and Christ by His Spirit, and the spirit by His purities: so that we are also cabinets of the mysterious Trinity, and what is this short of heaven itself, but as infancy is short of manhood?... The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For all your days prepare, And meet them ever alike: When you are theanvil, bear-When you are the hammer, strike. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22669]]></link><description><![CDATA[For all your days prepare, And meet them ever alike: When you are theanvil, bear-When you are the hammer, strike.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No married man is genuinely happy if he has to drink worse whisky than he used to drink when he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26469]]></link><description><![CDATA[No married man is genuinely happy if he has to drink worse whisky than he used to drink when he was single.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me a lever long enough And a prop strong enough,  I can single handed move the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me a lever long enough And a prop strong enough,  I can single handed move the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray.

He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the hope of all firefighters that there are people still in there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41000]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the hope of all firefighters that there are people still in there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's tough [Tiger Woods].
