But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In these times we fight for ideas, and newspapers are our fortresses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44493]]></link><description><![CDATA[In these times we fight for ideas, and newspapers are our fortresses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zest is the secret of all beauty.

In the confusion of spiritual phenomena, ... it was possible that evil spirits, as well as the Holy Spirit, inspired some of the manifestations. One in particular Paul singles out as being in obvious contradiction to the work of the Spirit of God: "No man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema (cursed)". On the other hand, "No man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit" (I Cor. 12:3). It is difficult to conceive the state of mind of a member of a Christian congregation who would curse the name of Jesus. Yet it is evident that at Corinth, people gave way to such uncontrollable frenzy that, either in folly or in momentary reversion to Judaism or heathenism, they cursed the name in whose honour they had met... But the spirit that inspired disloyalty to Jesus Christ could not be the Holy Spirit, for in Paul's experience and theology, the two beings were, if not identical, at least in perfect harmony of principle and action. This, then, was Paul's first criterion for deciding which spiritual phenomena could be approved by Christians as the work of the Holy Spirit. They must be loyal to Jesus Christ as Lord of life, and as the object of faith and love for every believer.

Of the present moment -- and of it only -- humans have an experience analogous to the experience which God has of reality as a whole; in it alone, freedom and actuality are offered them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present -- either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18205]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5890]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[China's rapid economic g rowth has resulted in tremendous progress in reducing poverty and improving the lives of people gradually, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41090]]></link><description><![CDATA[China's rapid economic g rowth has resulted in tremendous progress in reducing poverty and improving the lives of people gradually,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41090</guid></item></channel></rss>
