He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bob's devotion to the craft of filmmaking and his wealth of head-and-heart knowledge about what we do and how we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bob's devotion to the craft of filmmaking and his wealth of head-and-heart knowledge about what we do and how we do it was a special gift to his fellow directors,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good example has twice the value of good advice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14384]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good example has twice the value of good advice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been collecting portrait miniatures for some time.
