It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25384]]></link><description><![CDATA[A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you know, God is usually on the side of the big squadrons against the small.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64345]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you know, God is usually on the side of the big squadrons against the small.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men wish to be saved from the mischiefs of their vices, but not from their vices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men wish to be saved from the mischiefs of their vices, but not from their vices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been told that we probably will not be able to get home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40061]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been told that we probably will not be able to get home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is fossil poetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is fossil poetry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices are going to be very volatile.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wise to learn; it is God-like to create. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10559]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is wise to learn; it is God-like to create.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good preacher should have these qualities and virtues: first, to teach systematically; second, he should have a ready wit; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8325]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good preacher should have these qualities and virtues: first, to teach systematically; second, he should have a ready wit; third, he should be eloquent; fourth, he should have a good voice; fifth, a good memory; sixth, he should know when to make an end; seventh, he should be sure of his doctrine; eighth, he should venture and engage body and blood, wealth and honor, in the world; ninth, he should suffer himself to be mocked and jeered of everyone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lame goes as farre as your staggerer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49882]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lame goes as farre as your staggerer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give outcompletes the circle and comes back to us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22419]]></link><description><![CDATA[In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give outcompletes the circle and comes back to us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I belong to Bridegrooms Anonymous.
