The only evidence of election is therefore vocation, and the only evidence of vocation, is holiness of heart and life, for we are called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Compare again Romans 8:29, where believers are said to be "predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son." To this they are effectually called. They are made like Christ. Fellowship includes union and communion. We are called to be partakers of Christ; partakers of his life, as members of his body; and herefore, partakers of his character, of his sufferings here and of his glory hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point is that you can't be too greedy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18298]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point is that you can't be too greedy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human brutes, like other beasts, find snares and poison in the provision of life, and are allured by their appetites ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human brutes, like other beasts, find snares and poison in the provision of life, and are allured by their appetites to their destruction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will light in your heart the lamp of understanding, which shall not be put out until what you about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25044]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will light in your heart the lamp of understanding, which shall not be put out until what you about to write is finished.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A normal show would cost somebody to have a professional handler, about $75 a show.

The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item></channel></rss>
