Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14643]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But you know, I still had a dream of being able to go back home and tour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41183]]></link><description><![CDATA[But you know, I still had a dream of being able to go back home and tour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O chime of sweet Saint Charity, Peal soon that Easter morn  When Christ for all shall risen be,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13145]]></link><description><![CDATA[O chime of sweet Saint Charity, Peal soon that Easter morn  When Christ for all shall risen be,   And in all hearts new-born!    That Pentecost when utterance clear     To all men shall be given,      When all shall say My Brother here,       And hear My Son in heaven!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is that in the Gospel with which no one is allowed to argue.

All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of the extensibility of the Scala InfoChannelÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â® platform we were able to integrate database information and the Vista software ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because of the extensibility of the Scala InfoChannelÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â® platform we were able to integrate database information and the Vista software system into a custom cinema experience unique in New Zealand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once let good faith be abandoned, and all social existence would perish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once let good faith be abandoned, and all social existence would perish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I started a big part of my career in Vegas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41012]]></link><description><![CDATA[I started a big part of my career in Vegas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O joy! that in our embers Is something that doth live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16027]]></link><description><![CDATA[O joy! that in our embers Is something that doth live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am dismayed by the party on March 13 held by members of the men's lacrosse team at an off-campus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38127]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am dismayed by the party on March 13 held by members of the men's lacrosse team at an off-campus residence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A deadline is negative inspiration.

"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have one thing that counts, and that is my heart; it burns in my soul, it aches in my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54390]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have one thing that counts, and that is my heart; it burns in my soul, it aches in my flesh, and it ignites my nerves: that is my love for the people and Peron.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an amazing feeling to have, I find it very hard to believe, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29670]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's an amazing feeling to have, I find it very hard to believe,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Organizational progress parallels that in science and technology, permitting ultimate simplicity through intermediate complexity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Organizational progress parallels that in science and technology, permitting ultimate simplicity through intermediate complexity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66898]]></link><description><![CDATA[To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was really tired of words like 'plus size,' 'round' and 'large.'
