But the substance of that covenant is all pure mercy and grace. If men presume to claim for themselves, upon the basis of the covenant, some relationship with God other than that of the sinner needing God's grace, the covenant has been perverted. And when that has happened, God, in the sovereign freedom of His grace, destroy these pretensions, calls "No people" to be His people, breaks off natural branches and grafts in wild slips, filling them with the life that is His own life imparted to man. There is no law in His Kingdom save the law of pure grace. That is why they come from east and west to sit down with Abraham and Isaac, while the sons of the Kingdom are cast out; for the sons of the Kingdom have no place there unless they are willing to sit down with all whom the Lord of the feast shall call, and to receive His mercy in exactly the same way as the publicans and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inevitable has always found me ready and hopeful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65278]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inevitable has always found me ready and hopeful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43822]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes.

In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As clear as a whistle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48524]]></link><description><![CDATA[As clear as a whistle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shape of our lives is defined by our insertion into institutions and systems whose interlocking power generates the "virtual ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5568]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shape of our lives is defined by our insertion into institutions and systems whose interlocking power generates the "virtual reality" we experience. Such 'knowledge' is so thoroughly a part of our worldview that it simply would not occur to most people to question it.

Now contrarily I bless myself, and am thankful that I lived not in the days of miracles, that I never saw Christ nor His Disciples; I would not have been one of those Israelites that passed the Red Sea, nor one of Christ's patients, on whom He wrought His wonders; then had my faith been thrust upon me, nor should I enjoy that greater blessing pronounced to all that believe and saw not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With Klose injured we supposedly had a striker problem.
