If we are not fit to cope with that which He has prepared for us, we would have been utterly unfit for any condition that we imagine for ourselves. We are to live and wrestle in this time, and in no other. Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60092]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe such progress is relished because it feels nice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coconut trees, lithe and graceful, crowd the beach like a minuet of slender elderly virgins adopting flippant poses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43873]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coconut trees, lithe and graceful, crowd the beach like a minuet of slender elderly virgins adopting flippant poses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48102]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The experiencing of divine sonship, of adoption, is the act of the Spirit in our hearts crying Abba, Father (Gal. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6236]]></link><description><![CDATA[The experiencing of divine sonship, of adoption, is the act of the Spirit in our hearts crying Abba, Father (Gal. 4:6; Rom. 8:15,16)... Liberty, peace, and joy are correlative factors in the same moment of experience, and they are all attributed to the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:2,6; 14:17; Gal. 5:22,23; 1 Thess. 1:6). In the allegory of Abraham's two sons, Paul contrasts the state of bondage under the Law with that of liberty under grace, and defines the one as being after the flesh, but the other after the Spirit (Gal. 4:21-29)... The first great moment of the new life, whether it be called justification by faith, the realization of sonship, or peace with God, is a work of the Holy Spirit, through the preaching of the Word. But [Paul] does not indicate... the exact logical or historical sequence of the various elements in the experience, and it may be doubted whether he would have entertained any idea of sequence within the complex experience of justification.
