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[If your heart is full, you don't feel that hungry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20144]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your heart is full, you don't feel that hungry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43500]]></link><description><![CDATA[After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are talking about the next generation of the CBC, ...

You will see at once that this is an impossibility.

Shrinking from any deep self-scrutiny is by no means an uncommon thing, and often goes far to explain the feverish restlessness with which a world-loving heart plunges into perpetual rounds of gaieties and dissipations; they serve as an escape from troublesome questions about the soul, and help to get rid of the clamours of conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are losing your leisure, look out, you may be losing your soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24614]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are losing your leisure, look out, you may be losing your soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To attract men I wear a perfume called "new car interior.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25749]]></link><description><![CDATA[To attract men I wear a perfume called "new car interior.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is sometimes equated with credulity, but it can be so equated only when the profound mistake is made of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is sometimes equated with credulity, but it can be so equated only when the profound mistake is made of thinking of faith as primarily a matter of intellectual assent. As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All parts of the human body get tired eventually - except the tongue ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40232]]></link><description><![CDATA[All parts of the human body get tired eventually - except the tongue]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1391]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like unto him.
