Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She had the loaded handbag of someone who camps out and seldom goes home, or who imagines life must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5194]]></link><description><![CDATA[She had the loaded handbag of someone who camps out and seldom goes home, or who imagines life must be full of emergencies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28160]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When love's well-timed 'tis not a fault of love; The strong, the brave, the virtuous, and the wise,  Sink ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25609]]></link><description><![CDATA[When love's well-timed 'tis not a fault of love; The strong, the brave, the virtuous, and the wise,  Sink in the soft captivity together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I see at this moment are the signs of a normal market.

Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The privilege of absurdity, to which no living creature is subject but men only. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/210]]></link><description><![CDATA[The privilege of absurdity, to which no living creature is subject but men only.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58035]]></link><description><![CDATA[These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity; they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad; they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats. [Lat., Haec studia adolecentiam alunt, senectutem oblectant, secundas res ornant, adversis solatium et perfugium praebent, delectant domi, non impediunt foris, pernoctant nobiscum, peregrinantur, rusticantur.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are all alike--except the one you've met who's different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are all alike--except the one you've met who's different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is desperately bas luck for a player who was in form.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This guy (Cobb) throws 80 (mph) and he just eats people up.
