The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Innocents   Christian freedom, in my opinion, consists of three parts.

The first: that the consciences of believers, in seeking assurance of their justification before God, should rise above and advance beyond the law, forgetting all law righteousness... The second part, dependent upon the first, is that consciences observe the law, not as if constrained by the necessity of the law, but that freed from the law's yoke they willingly obey God's will... The third part of Christian freedom lies in this: regarding outward things that are of themselves "indifferent", we are not bound before God by any religious obligation preventing us from sometimes using them and other times not using them, indifferently... Accordingly, it is perversely interpreted both by those who allege it as an excuse for their desires that they may abuse God's good gifts to their own lust and by those who think that freedom does not exist unless it is used before men, and consequently, in using it have no regard for weaker brethren... Nothing is plainer than this rule: that we should use our freedom if it results in the edification of our neighbor, but if it does not help our neighbor, then we should forego it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel Johnson County is the best location for the rain forest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37846]]></link><description><![CDATA[We feel Johnson County is the best location for the rain forest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Summer makes me drowsy.
