Deceived and weakened, men felt that they were strong now that they were in possession of this cheap grace -- whereas they had in fact lost the power to live the life of discipleship and obedience. The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence has nothing to do with politics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence has nothing to do with politics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62200]]></link><description><![CDATA[After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who believe in nothing are very, very jealous and angry at those who believe in something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who believe in nothing are very, very jealous and angry at those who believe in something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were pleased with it.
