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[The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation.

Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a right and duty of the wise ones to purify the strong by teaching them their duties and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54258]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a right and duty of the wise ones to purify the strong by teaching them their duties and to strengthen the weak by teaching them their rights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only last night he felt deadly sick, and, after a great deal of pain, two black crows flew out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only last night he felt deadly sick, and, after a great deal of pain, two black crows flew out of his mouth and took wing from the room.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your goal should be out of reach but not out of sight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your goal should be out of reach but not out of sight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am always looking for an opportunity to compete personally.

It seems a truly terrible thing that this Sacred Appointment, which was surely meant to unite, in actual practice divides Christians more sharply than any other part of their worship. Christians of various denominations may, and frequently do, work together on social projects, they may study the Scripture together, and they may ... pray together. But the moment attendance at the Lord's Table is suggested, up go the denominational barriers... I would make a strong plea that we do not exclude from the Lord's Table in our Church those who are undoubtedly sincere Christians. I cannot believe that to communicate together with our Lord should be regarded as the consummation, the final pinnacle, of the whole vast work of Reunion. Suppose it is the means and not the end. We might feel far more sharply the sin of our divisions and of our exclusiveness if we came humbly together to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and in that reception we might find such a quickening of our common devotion to Him that the divisions between us might be found not nearly so insuperable as we supposed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a lot of homework, and I have some I need to do while I'm doing the play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37072]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a lot of homework, and I have some I need to do while I'm doing the play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her cabin'd ample spirit, It fluttered and fail'd for breath;  Tonight it doth inherit   The vasty hall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her cabin'd ample spirit, It fluttered and fail'd for breath;  Tonight it doth inherit   The vasty hall of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek simplicity, and distrust it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek simplicity, and distrust it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33585]]></link><description><![CDATA[It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles. [Ger., O der alles vergrossernden Eifersucht.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23165]]></link><description><![CDATA[O jealousy! thou magnifier of trifles. [Ger., O der alles vergrossernden Eifersucht.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
