He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It makes me feel good to walk through there and know that some of the things that Negro League players ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36249]]></link><description><![CDATA[It makes me feel good to walk through there and know that some of the things that Negro League players played for has been preserved, and people can go in there, and look at it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bible may be the truth, but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53622]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bible may be the truth, but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline is the soul of an army.

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[Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By penitence th' Eternal's wrath's appeas'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51538]]></link><description><![CDATA[By penitence th' Eternal's wrath's appeas'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26583]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power of God is the worship He inspires.
