To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the time of year people start shopping for space heaters, but business hasn't been above normal, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30281]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the time of year people start shopping for space heaters, but business hasn't been above normal,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Favour will as surely perish as life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49235]]></link><description><![CDATA[Favour will as surely perish as life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we will not be able to reach agreements in the end, this constitution is going to be presented to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36224]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we will not be able to reach agreements in the end, this constitution is going to be presented to the Iraqis in an Oct. 15 referendum.

Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In matters of commerce the fault of the Dutch Is offering too little and asking too much.  The French ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5020]]></link><description><![CDATA[In matters of commerce the fault of the Dutch Is offering too little and asking too much.  The French are with equal advantage content--   So we clap on Dutch bottoms just 20 per cent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5020</guid></item></channel></rss>
