Not along this track lies the path of moral progress. Christianity says: face the evil once for all, and disown it. Then quiet the spirit in the presence of God. Let His perfections fill the field of vision. In particular, let the concrete embodiment of the goodness of God in Christ attract and absorb the gaze of the soul. Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him love none and be by none beloved! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him love none and be by none beloved!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes you wonder how you got on this mountain.

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soon silence will have passed into legend.
