Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuse himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuse himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like blinking, I do! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36405]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like blinking, I do!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you love something let it go, and if it comes back - that doesn't mean a damn thing; it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1475]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you love something let it go, and if it comes back - that doesn't mean a damn thing; it can just leave you again later.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear to us are those who love us. . . but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dear to us are those who love us. . . but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life; they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really like the original Apes costumes.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bill . . . called a guy who was a towering figure and he totally defanged him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33259]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bill . . . called a guy who was a towering figure and he totally defanged him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tyrant dies and his rule ends, the martyr dies and his rule begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59981]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tyrant dies and his rule ends, the martyr dies and his rule begins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59981</guid></item></channel></rss>
