Christ, the Spirit of Christ, interpenetrating ours, sweetens, purifies, transforms all. This can only eradicate what is wrong, renovate and regenerate, and rehabilitate the inner man. Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does.

But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In many people it is already an impertinence to say 'I'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65288]]></link><description><![CDATA[In many people it is already an impertinence to say 'I'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always the simple that produces the marvelous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65274]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Herdsman and the Lost Bull A herdsman tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Herdsman and the Lost Bull A herdsman tending his flock in a forest lost a Bull-calf from the fold. After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird of Jove, stoop'd from his aery tour, Two birds of gayest plume before him drove. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13096]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird of Jove, stoop'd from his aery tour, Two birds of gayest plume before him drove.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we have been doing is turning around and donating them (donations) to the various donation sites set up around ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40576]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we have been doing is turning around and donating them (donations) to the various donation sites set up around town for other hurricane evacuees.
