To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good instincts usually tell you what to do before your head has figured itout. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good instincts usually tell you what to do before your head has figured itout.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't want to pick a family that just created a fund they don't have a history in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35356]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't want to pick a family that just created a fund they don't have a history in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My parents are here for my education.

It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ...
