All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To pay homage to beauty is to admire Nature; to admire Nature is to worship God ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43759]]></link><description><![CDATA[To pay homage to beauty is to admire Nature; to admire Nature is to worship God]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26303]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us believe neither half of the good people tell us of ourselves, nor half the evil they say of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us believe neither half of the good people tell us of ourselves, nor half the evil they say of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Domestic violence) is such a dark social issue, we opted to have a fun event. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33344]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Domestic violence) is such a dark social issue, we opted to have a fun event.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands, and goes to work ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands, and goes to work]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If not, it's going to be really hard finding someone to step into this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39972]]></link><description><![CDATA[If not, it's going to be really hard finding someone to step into this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From all sides there is equally a way to the lower world. [Lat., Undique ad inferos tantundem viae est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19130]]></link><description><![CDATA[From all sides there is equally a way to the lower world. [Lat., Undique ad inferos tantundem viae est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the show in Virginia, they laid all the food out and it covered the entire floor.

"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23635]]></link><description><![CDATA[But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,  And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told. -King Richard III.
