It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin. It is of paramount concern for the Christian and for the interests of his sanctification that he should know that sin does not have the dominion over him, that the forces of redeeming, regenerative, and sanctifying grace have been brought to bear upon him in that which is central in his moral and spiritual being, that he is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and that Christ has been formed in him the hope of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe in and are developing a broad-based equity plan so that all our people can participate in a stock-option ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34291]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe in and are developing a broad-based equity plan so that all our people can participate in a stock-option program that will enable them to share in the growth potential of the company.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are wrongs which even the grave does not bury. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62442]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are wrongs which even the grave does not bury.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do I love thee?
