As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The demand that the Atonement shall be exhibited in vital relation to a new life in which sin is overcome... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7924]]></link><description><![CDATA[The demand that the Atonement shall be exhibited in vital relation to a new life in which sin is overcome... is entirely legitimate, and it touches a weak point in the traditional Protestant doctrine. Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assurance is two-thirds of success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assurance is two-thirds of success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is beautiful, but has a disease called man ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26305]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is beautiful, but has a disease called man]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43564]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having been a linebacker in college, I feel I have an advantage because I can easily associate with my guys. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having been a linebacker in college, I feel I have an advantage because I can easily associate with my guys.
