This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science, at bottom, is really anti-intellectual.

This introduces a third criterion of the Spirit, and on the wider stage of the moral life. It is loyalty to the moral ideal of Christ. "If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk" (Gal. 5:25). Where the Spirit dwells, it produces a new, a higher, a unique type of moral life. For Paul, the Christian life was not the normal and natural product of human activity, but a gracious divine gift, received by the descent of the Spirit into the human heart, for "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23). And there is yet one higher manifestation of the Spirit, the participation in the divine sonship of Jesus Christ. "And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6). Where sonship is, there the Spirit is. On the other hand, "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:l4). Where the Spirit leads, there sonship is... The possession of the Spirit and participation in Christ's sonship are but two aspects of the same experience. Here, the phenomenon, if it may be so called, bears its own credentials. Sonship is a self-evident work of the Spirit. But the evidence is available only for its owners in order that the Spirit of adoption may attest itself to others, it must issue in the life according to the Spirit, by walking in the spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He made a mistake by going into the ring, but it was his nephew, and this hooligan (Judah) -- that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30303]]></link><description><![CDATA[He made a mistake by going into the ring, but it was his nephew, and this hooligan (Judah) -- that's what he is, a hooligan -- committed these very flagrant fouls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writ in the climate of heaven, in the language spoken by angels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writ in the climate of heaven, in the language spoken by angels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
