We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is "of him". If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, they will be found in his anointing. If we seek strength, it lies in his dominion; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, it appears in his birth. For by his birth he was made like us in all respects that he might learn to feel our pain. If we seek redemption, it lies in his passion; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross; if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his descent into hell; if mortification of the flesh, in his tomb; if newness of life, in his resurrection; if immortality, in the same; if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in his entrance into heaven; if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in his Kingdom; if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to him to judge. In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4961]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This Mirabeau's work, then is done.

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not to wax nostalgic about the 1970’s, but back then people got upset when they saw injustice.
