Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing devised by the enemy. -King Richard III.

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must act out passion before we can feel it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64832]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must act out passion before we can feel it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1862]]></link><description><![CDATA[To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was time I got real aggressive inside.

And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had rather ride on an asse that carries me, then a horse that throwes me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49502]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had rather ride on an asse that carries me, then a horse that throwes me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you love me because I'm beautiful or am I beautiful because you love me? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you love me because I'm beautiful or am I beautiful because you love me?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The book that he has made renders its author this service in return, that so long as the book survives, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The book that he has made renders its author this service in return, that so long as the book survives, its author remains immortal and cannot die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3508</guid></item></channel></rss>
