Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hier aupres de Charenton Un serpent morait Jean Freron,  Que croyez-vous qu'il arriva?   Ce fut le serpent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hier aupres de Charenton Un serpent morait Jean Freron,  Que croyez-vous qu'il arriva?   Ce fut le serpent qui creva.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All politicians are control freaks; they think they own you, ...

To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideologies separate us.

For to seek for eminence and significancy in grace is but like seeking for eminence and significancy in nature. And the old man can relish glory and distinction in religion as well as in common life, and will be content to undergo as many labours, pains, and self-denials for the sake of religious, as for the sake of secular glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weep not that the world changes--did it keep A stable, changeless state, it were cause indeed to weep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weep not that the world changes--did it keep A stable, changeless state, it were cause indeed to weep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things give us hardy strength: sleeping on hairy mattresses, breathing cold air, and eating dry food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three things give us hardy strength: sleeping on hairy mattresses, breathing cold air, and eating dry food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never understimate the heart of a champion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never understimate the heart of a champion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in full operation.
