Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one who understands does not speak; the one who speaks does not understand ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60044]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one who understands does not speak; the one who speaks does not understand]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28034]]></link><description><![CDATA[The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have made an important discovery... that alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, produces all the effect of intoxication. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12440]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have made an important discovery... that alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, produces all the effect of intoxication.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If customers are able to reduce their water use, then Lake Decatur may not drop to a more critical level. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39690]]></link><description><![CDATA[If customers are able to reduce their water use, then Lake Decatur may not drop to a more critical level.
