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[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189   It is well to have specifically holy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189   It is well to have specifically holy places, and things, and days, for, without these focal points or reminders, the belief that all is holy and "big with God" will soon dwindle into a mere sentiment. But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music . . .can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music . . .can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then hail! thou noble conqueror!
