"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground. You pull and you pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but you lose your balance and go skidding down the hill toward the pool. Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty. He tells you to get out of there, but you start faking it, like you're talking Hawaiian, and then he gets mad and chases you...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most important keys to success is having the discipline to do what you know you should do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65900]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most important keys to success is having the discipline to do what you know you should do, even when you dont feel like doing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot strike out in your first major-league at-bat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41868]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot strike out in your first major-league at-bat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe we're still going to have a good real estate market this year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31830]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe we're still going to have a good real estate market this year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who lack the capacity to achieve much in an atmosphere of freedom will clamor for power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who lack the capacity to achieve much in an atmosphere of freedom will clamor for power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I consider him of no account who esteems himself just as the popular breath may chance to raise him. [Ger., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53882]]></link><description><![CDATA[I consider him of no account who esteems himself just as the popular breath may chance to raise him. [Ger., Ich halte nichts von dem, der von sich denkt  Wie ihn das Volk vielleicht erheben mochte.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ We want you to know that we recognize your hard work and compassion on behalf of the children and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34692]]></link><description><![CDATA[ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ We want you to know that we recognize your hard work and compassion on behalf of the children and the families you have affected.
