Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fear o' hell's the hangman's whip To laud the wretch in order;  But where ye feel your honor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fear o' hell's the hangman's whip To laud the wretch in order;  But where ye feel your honor grip,   Let that aye be your border.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The release was an American-Iraqi decision and in line with an Iraqi government ruling made in December 2004, but hasn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29824]]></link><description><![CDATA[The release was an American-Iraqi decision and in line with an Iraqi government ruling made in December 2004, but hasn't been enforced until after the elections in an attempt to ease the political pressure in Iraq.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27006]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good luck befriend thee, Son; for at thy birth The fairy ladies danced upon the hearth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good luck befriend thee, Son; for at thy birth The fairy ladies danced upon the hearth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don't have any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25414]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don't have any clean laundry, because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the fireflies, Wah-wah-taysee, Waved their torches to mislead him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16030]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the fireflies, Wah-wah-taysee, Waved their torches to mislead him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This case may also be notable for the chutzpah of the Assistant United States Attorney in advancing as a reason ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53131]]></link><description><![CDATA[This case may also be notable for the chutzpah of the Assistant United States Attorney in advancing as a reason for striking a juror that, "I have a P rule, I never accept anyone whose occupation begins with a P.

But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item></channel></rss>
