Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7124]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a swoon as to all evidences of the spiritual life.

It was because popes could and did err and because councils could and did err that Luther came to realize the supremacy of Scripture. Luther did not despise church authority, nor did he repudiate church councils as having no value. His praise of the Council of Nicaea is noteworthy. Luther and the Reformers did not mean by "Sola Scriptura" that the Bible is the only authority in the church; rather, they meant that the Bible is the only infallible authority in the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Insanity -- a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Insanity -- a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This casket threatens; men that hazard all Do it in hope of fair advantages.  A golden mind stoops not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17141]]></link><description><![CDATA[This casket threatens; men that hazard all Do it in hope of fair advantages.  A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross;   I'll then nor give nor hazard aught for lead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing that makes life possible is a permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing that makes life possible is a permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I understand with love comes pain, but why did I have to love so much? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60046]]></link><description><![CDATA[I understand with love comes pain, but why did I have to love so much?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  An essential part of the ordination exam ought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  An essential part of the ordination exam ought to be a passage from some recognized theological work set for translation into vulgar English -- just like doing Latin prose. Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test. If you can't turn your faith into it, then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us never know what old age is.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.
