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[Now it seems to me that love of some kind is the only possible explanation of the extraordinary amount of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58194]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now it seems to me that love of some kind is the only possible explanation of the extraordinary amount of suffering that there is in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even in animals there exists the spirit of their sires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even in animals there exists the spirit of their sires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone can come in and get 20 points, at any given time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone can come in and get 20 points, at any given time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sad fancies do we then affect, In luxury of disrespect  To our own prodigal excess   Of too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sad fancies do we then affect, In luxury of disrespect  To our own prodigal excess   Of too familiar happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  No doubt the gospel is quite free, as free as the Victoria Cross, which anyone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  No doubt the gospel is quite free, as free as the Victoria Cross, which anyone can have who is prepared to face the risks; but it means time, and pains, and concentrating all one's energies upon a mighty project. You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For little children everywhere A joyous season still we make;  We bring our precious gifts to them,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8628]]></link><description><![CDATA[For little children everywhere A joyous season still we make;  We bring our precious gifts to them,   Even for the dear child Jesus' sake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Occasionally, the chef gets creative and comes up with a new one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Occasionally, the chef gets creative and comes up with a new one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a short series on forgiveness: To live of love, it is to dry Thy tears,   To seek ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concluding a short series on forgiveness: To live of love, it is to dry Thy tears,   To seek for pardon for each sinful soul, To strive to save all men from doubts and fears,   And bring them home to Thy benign control.
