Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We deem this action representative of a market that has lost the flurry of last week's panic buying and instead ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32937]]></link><description><![CDATA[We deem this action representative of a market that has lost the flurry of last week's panic buying and instead is rethinking its view as to the near-term motivation of the Fed and the impact of Katrina.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27616]]></link><description><![CDATA[The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men as a whole judge more with their eyes than with their hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men as a whole judge more with their eyes than with their hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373   Every action of our lives touches on some chord ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373   Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have rudiments of reverence for the human body, but we consider as nothing the rape of the human mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52344]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have rudiments of reverence for the human body, but we consider as nothing the rape of the human mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One fourth of the money stays here in Zanesville, going to Christ Table and the Salvation Army.
