While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves -- blessed riddance.

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 best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service ofothers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21100]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service ofothers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call things by their right names - Glass of brandy and water!

S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We then use the empty containers that we off load and fill them back up with cotton from the United ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37134]]></link><description><![CDATA[We then use the empty containers that we off load and fill them back up with cotton from the United States and send it to China.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, 1750  Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, 1750  Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines.
