But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3403]]></link><description><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of their shining nights   Than those that walk and wot not what they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Start with God - the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Start with God - the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of us is a being in himself and a being in society, each of us needs to understand himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of us is a being in himself and a being in society, each of us needs to understand himself and understand others, take care of others and be taken care of himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think not thy time short in this world, since the world itself is not long.

John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before Johan Cruijff is going to make a mistake, he isn't making that mistake.making that mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before Johan Cruijff is going to make a mistake, he isn't making that mistake.making that mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop worrying -- nobody gets out of this world alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stop worrying -- nobody gets out of this world alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Presumably there would be facts and documents of Intel that it does not necessarily want to broadcast to the public, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Presumably there would be facts and documents of Intel that it does not necessarily want to broadcast to the public,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to change a mind-set, because there has been a lack of success with men's basketball.
