For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is a season of recovery and preparation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40076]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fellowship with God means warfare with the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fellowship with God means warfare with the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53559</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.
