Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bring me wine, but wine which never grew In the belly of the grape,  Or grew on vine whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bring me wine, but wine which never grew In the belly of the grape,  Or grew on vine whose tap-roots, reaching through   Under the Andes to the Cape,    Suffered no savor of the earth to escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 29,30]   The call intended is the effectual ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 29,30]   The call intended is the effectual call of the Holy Spirit, by which the soul is renewed and translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. The only evidence of election is therefore vocation, and the only evidence of vocation, is holiness of heart and life, for we are called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Compare again Romans 8:29, where believers are said to be "predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son." To this they are effectually called. They are made like Christ. Fellowship includes union and communion. We are called to be partakers of Christ; partakers of his life, as members of his body; and herefore, partakers of his character, of his sufferings here and of his glory hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . for thou art a stiff-necked people. . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52452]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . for thou art a stiff-necked people. . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to find your perfect match is to meet love halfway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11101]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to find your perfect match is to meet love halfway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44282]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year, the offense, we weren't able to put up that many points.

If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To sentence a man of true genius, to the drudgery of a school is to put a racehorse on a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/971]]></link><description><![CDATA[To sentence a man of true genius, to the drudgery of a school is to put a racehorse on a treadmill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like they said let's put a Post-it note on a turtle and then sit back and say we did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38934]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's like they said let's put a Post-it note on a turtle and then sit back and say we did our duty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Selective logging negatively impacts many plants and animals and increases erosion and fires.
