But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60290]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear-bought experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like a plank of driftwood Tossed on the watery main,  Another plank encountered,   Meets, touches, parts again; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like a plank of driftwood Tossed on the watery main,  Another plank encountered,   Meets, touches, parts again;    So tossed, and drifting ever,     On life's unresting sea,      Men meet, and greet, and sever,       Parting eternally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And have you been to Borderland? Its country lies on either hand  Beyond the river I-forget.   One ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16487]]></link><description><![CDATA[And have you been to Borderland? Its country lies on either hand  Beyond the river I-forget.   One crosses by a single stone    So narrow one must pass alone,     And all about its waters fret--      The laughing river I-forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something given that way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Something given that way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deeds of violence in our society are performed largely by those trying to establish their self-esteem, to defend their self-image, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57031]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deeds of violence in our society are performed largely by those trying to establish their self-esteem, to defend their self-image, and to demonstrate that they, too, are significant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laugh at yourself first before anyone else can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laugh at yourself first before anyone else can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happie is hee that chastens himselfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happie is hee that chastens himselfe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy Will for Deed I do accept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy Will for Deed I do accept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is looking like we will have a couple other minor systems move through this week, Tuesday and Saturday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32493]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is looking like we will have a couple other minor systems move through this week, Tuesday and Saturday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persons of mean understandings, not so inquisitive, nor so well instructed, are made good Christians, and by reverence and obedience, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persons of mean understandings, not so inquisitive, nor so well instructed, are made good Christians, and by reverence and obedience, implicity believe, and abide by their belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871  Devotion signifies a life given, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8259]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871  Devotion signifies a life given, or devoted, to God.

Liberty, peace, and joy are correlative factors in the same moment of experience, and they are all attributed to the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:2,6; 14:17; Gal. 5:22,23; 1 Thess. 1:6). In the allegory of Abraham's two sons, Paul contrasts the state of bondage under the Law with that of liberty under grace, and defines the one as being after the flesh, but the other after the Spirit (Gal. 4:21-29)... The first great moment of the new life, whether it be called justification by faith, the realization of sonship, or peace with God, is a work of the Holy Spirit, through the preaching of the Word. But [Paul] does not indicate... the exact logical or historical sequence of the various elements in the experience, and it may be doubted whether he would have entertained any idea of sequence within the complex experience of justification. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot about puppies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot about puppies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12678</guid></item></channel></rss>
