The first: that the consciences of believers, in seeking assurance of their justification before God, should rise above and advance beyond the law, forgetting all law righteousness... The second part, dependent upon the first, is that consciences observe the law, not as if constrained by the necessity of the law, but that freed from the law's yoke they willingly obey God's will... The third part of Christian freedom lies in this: regarding outward things that are of themselves "indifferent", we are not bound before God by any religious obligation preventing us from sometimes using them and other times not using them, indifferently... Accordingly, it is perversely interpreted both by those who allege it as an excuse for their desires that they may abuse God's good gifts to their own lust and by those who think that freedom does not exist unless it is used before men, and consequently, in using it have no regard for weaker brethren... Nothing is plainer than this rule: that we should use our freedom if it results in the edification of our neighbor, but if it does not help our neighbor, then we should forego it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average man's idea of a good sermon is one that goes over his head - and hits one of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55206]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average man's idea of a good sermon is one that goes over his head - and hits one of his neighbors]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excess of meats bringeth sickness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Excess of meats bringeth sickness]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult. - Letter to his son, October 9, 1746. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27959]]></link><description><![CDATA[An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult. - Letter to his son, October 9, 1746.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother.

Whether this deity be true or false, the temple as such becomes a meeting-place for people who desire to worship as they understand it. For the ancient Hebrews, the Temple in Jerusalem was the house of God, the place where God dwelt symbolically, and met with people who came to worship. Jesus called it "My Father's house." For the Christian, the word 'church' has become the symbol for the edifice built and dedicated for the worship of God. But unless it is so dedicated and so used, it may be considered only a mere building or club-house. However beautiful its design and architecture, a church is a true temple only as it is frequented by God's people who come to "worship Him in spirit and in truth," and who there hold forth "the word of life."
