He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet like candy to my soul ~~ Sweet you rock and sweet you roll ~~ Lost for you I’m so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet like candy to my soul ~~ Sweet you rock and sweet you roll ~~ Lost for you I’m so lost for you]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is it unfair to suggest that, in some of us at least, [Christianity] hasn't fully worked so far simply because, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is it unfair to suggest that, in some of us at least, [Christianity] hasn't fully worked so far simply because, at the pinch, at the decisive moment, we don't want it to work or ourselves to be lifted up above the failings and disloyalties we find so alluring, but rather to be enabled to continue them without the ugly consequences of so doing, to have the inexorable laws of life bent aside in our favour, so that we can squeeze through and escape, without reaping what we have sown; because, as we misunderstand it, the whole point of the good news our Lord brings is the (to us) gladsome announcement that God is happily much more morally indifferent than our consciences had thought, and is not going to make a fuss about our sins and such-like trivial peccadilloes, but will surely let us off -- because, in fact, we have not grasped that the core and essence of the Gospel... is its tremendous and glorious revelation of how deadly is God's hatred of sin, so that He cannot stand having it in the same universe as Himself, and will go any length, and will pay any price, and will make any sacrifice, to master and abolish it, is set upon so doing in our hearts, thank God, as elsewhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compassion is the only one of the human emotions the Lord permitted Himself and it has carried the divine flavor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Compassion is the only one of the human emotions the Lord permitted Himself and it has carried the divine flavor ever since.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46624</guid></item></channel></rss>
