Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We understand that some groups can be shocked by the publication of certain information, but there are legal means -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29419]]></link><description><![CDATA[We understand that some groups can be shocked by the publication of certain information, but there are legal means -- in Denmark and elsewhere -- to resolve this problem.

He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.  Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ  [With thanks to Roger E. Doriot]    February 12, 1997  Ash Wednesday  Were Christians duly instructed how many lesser differences in mind and judgment and practice are really consistent with the nature, ends, and genuine fruit of the unity that Christ requires among them, it would undoubtedly prevail with them so as to manage themselves in their differences by mutual forbearance and condescension in their love, as not to contract the guilt of being disturbers or breakers of it. To speak plainly, among all the churches in the world which are free from idolatry and persecution, it is not different opinions, nor a difference in judgment about revealed truths, nor a different practice in sacred administrations, but pride, self-interest, love of honour, reputation, and dominion, with the influence of civil or political intrigues and considerations, that are the true cause of that defect of evangelical unity that is at this day amongst them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely  The pangs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27392]]></link><description><![CDATA[For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely  The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,   The insolence of office, and the spurns    That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,     When he himself might his quietus make      With a bare bodkin?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your own property is concerned when your neighbor's house is on fire. [Lat., Tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your own property is concerned when your neighbor's house is on fire. [Lat., Tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cul-de-sac to which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27830]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cul-de-sac to which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They did the book design and layout and we did the production. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40559]]></link><description><![CDATA[They did the book design and layout and we did the production.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the end, everything is a gag. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20059]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the end, everything is a gag.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that I shall never scan A tree as lovely as a man.  . . . .  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59685]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that I shall never scan A tree as lovely as a man.  . . . .   A tree depicts divinest plan,    But God himself lives in a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek simplicity but distrust it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek simplicity but distrust it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With all the awards she was given, she never put one on the wall.
