If we admit that men can do very well without Christ, we accept the Saviour only as a luxury for ourselves. If they can do very well without Christ, then so could we. This is to turn our backs upon the Christ of the gospels and the Christ of Acts and to turn our faces towards law, morality, philosophy, natural religion. We look at the moral teaching of some of the heathen nations and we find it higher than we had expected... Or we look at morality in Christian lands, and we begin to wonder whether our practice is really much higher than theirs, and we say, "They are very well as they are. Leave them alone." When we so speak and think we are treating the question of the salvation of men exactly as we should have treated it had Christ never appeared in the world at all. It is an essentially pre-Christian attitude, and implies that the Son of God has not been delivered for our salvation. It suggests that the one and only way of salvation known to me is to keep the commandments. That was indeed true before the coming of the Son of God, before the Passion, before the Resurrection, before Pentecost; but after Pentecost that is no longer true. After Pentecost, the answer to any man who inquires the way of salvation is no longer "Keep the law," but "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one wants to start with the proposition that it's obviously in their (Conservatives') advantage to have the election in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30780]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one wants to start with the proposition that it's obviously in their (Conservatives') advantage to have the election in January-February, no, the data doesn't support that,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure when with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure when with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child miseducated is a child lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13499]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child miseducated is a child lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity can change man's nature; and seldom is any one cautious enough to resist the effects of good fortune. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48491]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity can change man's nature; and seldom is any one cautious enough to resist the effects of good fortune. [Lat., Res secundae valent commutare naturam, et raro quisquam erga bona sua satis cautus est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will always be the ability for broadband users to connect to the content of their choice.

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity...
