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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow if tomorrow might improve the odds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow if tomorrow might improve the odds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sinful heart makes feeble hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51077]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sinful heart makes feeble hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's a thorn that has stuck in our sides for year.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself. -King Henry VIII.
