But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee; Corruption wins not more than honesty.

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist even after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist even after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To extend our memories by monuments, whose death we daily pray for, and whose duration we cannot hope, without injury ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43037]]></link><description><![CDATA[To extend our memories by monuments, whose death we daily pray for, and whose duration we cannot hope, without injury to our expectations in the advent of the last day, were a contradiction to our belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although Constellation's been a good performer every year, it hasn't been off the charts.
