He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19941]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Western European civilization has witnessed a sort of atomizing process, in which the individual is more and more set free ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7045]]></link><description><![CDATA[Western European civilization has witnessed a sort of atomizing process, in which the individual is more and more set free from his natural setting in family and neighborhood, and becomes a sort of replaceable unit in the social machine, His nearest neighbors may not even know his name. He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blood is a cleansing and sanctifying thing, and the nation that regards it as the final horror has lost its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blood is a cleansing and sanctifying thing, and the nation that regards it as the final horror has lost its manhood... there are many things more horrible than bloodshed, and slavery is one of them!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even play has ended in fierce strife and anger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even play has ended in fierce strife and anger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clearsighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46077]]></link><description><![CDATA[The clearsighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jimmy says he'll never tell a lie.
