When there is a want of brotherly love and Christian confidence among professors of religion, then a revival is needed. Then there is a loud call for God to revive his work. When Christians have sunk down into a low and backslidden state, they neither have, nor ought to have, nor is there reason to have, the same love and confidence toward each other, as when they are all alive, and active, and living holy lives...  2. When there are dissensions, and jealousies, and evil speakings among professors of religion, then there is great need of a revival. These things show that Christians have got far from God, and it is time to think earnestly of a revival. Religion cannot prosper with such things in the church, and nothing can put an end to them like a revival.  3. When there is a worldly spirit in the church: it is manifest that the church is sunk down into a low and backslidden state, when you see Christians conform to the world in dress, equipage, parties, seeking worldly amusements, reading novels and other books such as the world reads. It shows that they are far from God, and that there is a great need of a Revival of Religion.

Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Audiences cry in the theater when people make a hard choice-for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Audiences cry in the theater when people make a hard choice-for life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're always a rough and tumble, blue-collar team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31953]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're always a rough and tumble, blue-collar team.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember when I was in college, people told me I couldn't play in the NBA.

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61766]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things back the way they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things back the way they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22813]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. -Alexander Graham Bell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pain of the mind is worse than the pain of the body]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the most powerful scream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is the most powerful scream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Halcyon days. -King Henry VI.

The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one's really happy anyway, it's not human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30244]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one's really happy anyway, it's not human.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a business.
