Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.

One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)

In the end, the first step of obedience proves to be an act of faith in the word of Christ. But we should completely misunderstand the nature of grace if we were to suppose that there was no need to take the first-step, because faith was already there. Against that, we must boldly assert that the step of obedience must be taken before faith can be possible. Unless he obeys, a man cannot believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Jupiter hurled his thunderbolt as often as men sinned, he would soon be out of thunderbolts. [Lat., Si quoties ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56394]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Jupiter hurled his thunderbolt as often as men sinned, he would soon be out of thunderbolts. [Lat., Si quoties homines peccant sua fulmina mittat  Jupiter, exiguo tempore inermis erit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people are bored, it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52272]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people are bored, it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reward of one duty is the power to fulfil another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13051]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reward of one duty is the power to fulfil another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, he that cuts off twenty years of life Cuts off so many years of fearing death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, he that cuts off twenty years of life Cuts off so many years of fearing death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Third World is not a reality but an ideology. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36266]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Third World is not a reality but an ideology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, after all, are the world's deepest problems?
