The state of slavery described in Romans 7 is a slavery to wrong desires; not merely to "flesh" in the abstract, as implying our material nature and environment, but to the "mind of the flesh" -- the lower nature and environment made a part of one's conscious self. What the Law could not do, God has done by the gift of the Spirit of Christ: He has given the victory to the higher self. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." (II Cor. 3:17) "The Law of the Spirit -- the law of a life in communion with Christ Jesus -- has made me free from the law of sin and death." (Rom. 8:2) Whereas life was a hopeless struggle, it now becomes a struggle in which the handicap is removed, and victory already secured in principle, because God has come into the life. The Law was external; it was the taskmaster set over against the troubled and fettered will of man. The Spirit is within, the mind of the Spirit is the mind of the man himself, and from within works out a growing perfection of life which satisfies the real longing of the soul. In the full sense freedom is still an object of hope; but the liberty already attained makes possible the building up of a Christian morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscious and unconscious experiences do not belong to different compartments of the mind; they form a continuous scale of gradations, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscious and unconscious experiences do not belong to different compartments of the mind; they form a continuous scale of gradations, of degrees of awareness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All evils are equal when they are extreme. [Fr., Et tous maux sont pareils alors qu'ils sont extremes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14304]]></link><description><![CDATA[All evils are equal when they are extreme. [Fr., Et tous maux sont pareils alors qu'ils sont extremes.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that the faith that moves mountains always carries a pick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that the faith that moves mountains always carries a pick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And little eagles wave their wings in gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13099]]></link><description><![CDATA[And little eagles wave their wings in gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He will do whatever is required by those people (at the alcohol treatment facility).

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values -- that all reality hinges ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60327]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values -- that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes.
