It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kissing is like drinking tea with a tea strainer, you can never get enough ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kissing is like drinking tea with a tea strainer, you can never get enough]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28138]]></link><description><![CDATA[To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm like an old warrior who can galvanize himself when he's threatened, but I'm pretty idle when I've got no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38786]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm like an old warrior who can galvanize himself when he's threatened, but I'm pretty idle when I've got no threats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fast is the way we like it.
