As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the best thing that happened to me, a tournament like that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28912]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was the best thing that happened to me, a tournament like that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We can all call to mind movements which have begun as pure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We can all call to mind movements which have begun as pure upsurges of fresh spiritual vitality, breaking through and revolting against the hardened structure of the older body, and claiming, in the name of the Spirit, liberty from outward forms and institutions. And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921  I would not favour a fiction to keep a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921  I would not favour a fiction to keep a whole world out of hell.
