It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many things served us yesterday for articles of faith, which to-day are fables to us! [Fr., Combien de choses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14981]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many things served us yesterday for articles of faith, which to-day are fables to us! [Fr., Combien de choses nous servoient heir d'articles de foy, qui nous sont fables aujourd'hui!]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20092]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're now looking at going over there to begin discussions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37489]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're now looking at going over there to begin discussions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is well that war is so terrible--we shouldn't grow too fond of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61205]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is well that war is so terrible--we shouldn't grow too fond of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regarding nothing as done, while ought remained to be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regarding nothing as done, while ought remained to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lively, disinterested, persistent liking for truth is extraordinarily rare.

What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless. Our question of the why of evil assumes the view that the world has a purpose, and what we want to know is how suffering fits into and advances this purpose. The modern view is that suffering has no purpose because nothing that happens has any purpose: the world is run by causes, not by purposes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6387</guid></item></channel></rss>
