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[I mark my hours by shadow; Mayest thou mark thine  By sunshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58314]]></link><description><![CDATA[I mark my hours by shadow; Mayest thou mark thine  By sunshine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to save it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to save it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no people who are quite so vulgar as the over-refined. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61055]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no people who are quite so vulgar as the over-refined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deep down even the most hardened criminal is starving for the same thing that motivates the innocent baby: Love and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/275]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deep down even the most hardened criminal is starving for the same thing that motivates the innocent baby: Love and acceptance]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My cake is dough. -The Taming of the Shrew.

What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see these guys on TV all the time and you always wonder if I could play in the majors. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31503]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see these guys on TV all the time and you always wonder if I could play in the majors.

That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, then the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, then the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today you are you!

We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45808]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country I never would lay down my arms,--never! never! never!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no knowledge that is not power ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47917]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no knowledge that is not power]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47917</guid></item></channel></rss>
