If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment. Israel is free and powerful when its law is observed throughout the land.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Critics complained it wasn't opera, it wasn't a musical.

All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17).

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In tears I tossed my coin from Trevi's edge. A coin unsordid as a bond of love--  And, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54408]]></link><description><![CDATA[In tears I tossed my coin from Trevi's edge. A coin unsordid as a bond of love--  And, with the instinct of the homing dove,   I gave to Rome my rendezvous and pledge.    And when imperious Death     Has quenched my flame of breath,      Oh, let me join the faithful shades that throng that fount above.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll always have people who are excited by [online learning] and people who are cautious.
