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[And at my silent window-sill The jessamine peeps in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23120]]></link><description><![CDATA[And at my silent window-sill The jessamine peeps in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.   - Ralph Waldo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.   - Ralph Waldo Emerson,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we've learned and create something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To him that will, waies are not wanting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50008]]></link><description><![CDATA[To him that will, waies are not wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And, after all, what is a lie?

Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coast was clear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coast was clear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't worry about terrorism.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first half she was struggling but when she turns a corner or hits a shot or steps up and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39720]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first half she was struggling but when she turns a corner or hits a shot or steps up and hits a play then it kind of opens things up.
