In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that glisters is not gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2811]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that glisters is not gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great crimes of the twentieth century were committed not by money-grubbing capitalists but by dedicated idealists.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41131]]></link><description><![CDATA[From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hidden Power of the Heart Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating.
