The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Son of God did not come from above to add an external form of worship to the several ways ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6978]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Son of God did not come from above to add an external form of worship to the several ways of life that are in the world, and so to leave people to live as they did before, in such tempers and enjoyments as the fashion and the spirit of the world approve; but as He came down from Heaven altogether Divine and heavenly in His own nature, so it was to call mankind to a Divine and heavenly life; to the highest change of their own nature and temper; to be born again of the Holy Spirit; to walk in the wisdom and light and love of God, and to be like Him to the utmost of their power, to renounce all the most plausible ways of the world, whether of greatness, business, or pleasure; to a mortification of their most agreeable passions; and to live in such wisdom, purity, and holiness as might fit them to be glorious in the enjoyment of God to all eternity.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55444]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I. -Much Ado about Nothing.
