([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a completely useless emotion - jealousy.

We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You change your life by changing your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5502]]></link><description><![CDATA[You change your life by changing your heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jordan also believes all final status issues, including borders, refugees, Jerusalem and settlements, should be a matter for the parties ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jordan also believes all final status issues, including borders, refugees, Jerusalem and settlements, should be a matter for the parties to decide.
