How much preaching has there been for these twenty years all over Pembrokeshire!

Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63445]]></link><description><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here files of pins extend their shining rows, Puffs, powders, patches, bibles, billet-doux. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here files of pins extend their shining rows, Puffs, powders, patches, bibles, billet-doux.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62405]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At first, heard solemn o'er the verge of Heaven, The Tempest growls; but as it nearer comes,  And rolls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57910]]></link><description><![CDATA[At first, heard solemn o'er the verge of Heaven, The Tempest growls; but as it nearer comes,  And rolls its awful burden on the wind,   The Lightnings flash a larger curve, and more    The Noise astounds; till overhead a sheet     Of livid flame discloses wide, then shuts,      And opens wider; shuts and opens still       Expansive, wrapping ether in a blaze.        Follows the loosen'd aggravated Roar,         Enlarging, deepening, mingling, peal on peal,          Crush'd, horrible, convulsing Heaven and Earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ourselves of the present age, chose our common law, and consented to the most ancient Acts of Parliament, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45541]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ourselves of the present age, chose our common law, and consented to the most ancient Acts of Parliament, for we lived in our ancestors 1,000 years ago, and those ancestors are still living in us]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature has given man one tongue, but two ears, that we may hear twice as much as we speak ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature has given man one tongue, but two ears, that we may hear twice as much as we speak]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd like to sit down with this guy and ask him why he did it.

Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Katie and (catcher Eryn) Richardson did a great job.

St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou wear a lion's hide! doff it for shame, And hang a calf's skin on those recreant limbs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou wear a lion's hide! doff it for shame, And hang a calf's skin on those recreant limbs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All television is children's television. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27709]]></link><description><![CDATA[All television is children's television.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deep violets, you liken to The kindest eyes that look on you,  Without a thought disloyal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deep violets, you liken to The kindest eyes that look on you,  Without a thought disloyal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder.
