The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind. To the spiritual all Scripture is gospel, or New Testament (the Law being the schoolmaster, bringing us to Christ), but to the natural and self righteous, as we ought to know from experience and observation, all Scripture (gospels and epistles included) is Old Testament, or Covenant of Works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nature of that role is that you are going to get the snot beat out of you.

But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended. [Lat., Frangas enim, citius quam corrigas quae ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended. [Lat., Frangas enim, citius quam corrigas quae in pravum induerunt.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25620]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord I disbelieve -- help thou my unbelief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord I disbelieve -- help thou my unbelief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that has a beginning comes to an end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything that has a beginning comes to an end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Citizenship comes first today in our crowded world ...
