There is a total difference between surviving sin and reigning sin, the regenerate in conflict with sin and the unregenerate complacent to sin. It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin. It is of paramount concern for the Christian and for the interests of his sanctification that he should know that sin does not have the dominion over him, that the forces of redeeming, regenerative, and sanctifying grace have been brought to bear upon him in that which is central in his moral and spiritual being, that he is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and that Christ has been formed in him the hope of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that God answers prayer? I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?

Shortly afterwards, at the harvest festival, the owner released the Ox from his yoke, but bound the Heifer with cords and led him away to the altar to be slain in honor of the occasion. The Ox saw what was being done, and said with a smile to the Heifer: For this you were allowed to live in idleness, because you were presently to be sacrificed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who ever has no fixed opinions has no constant feelings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who ever has no fixed opinions has no constant feelings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners.
