To me, at least, this is a thoroughly unsound argument, for Christ did not come into the world to bring men "specialized activity," but life, fuller and more satisfying than it had been ever before. If the churches have made Christianity appear to be some kind of specialized spiritual performance so much the worse for them. The real purpose of Christ, the real relevance of the Gospel, is surely to enable men to live together as sons of God. Human beings, like children, love to have secrets, love to be "in the know." But the Christian religion was never meant to be a secret recipe for living, held by a few. It is Good News for all mankind and, because it is that, the more clearly and intelligibly it can be presented, the more faithfully it is following its Master's purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The individual's whole experience is built upon the plan of his language. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24078]]></link><description><![CDATA[The individual's whole experience is built upon the plan of his language.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep cool; anger is not an argument. -Daniel Webster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep cool; anger is not an argument. -Daniel Webster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em. -Twelfth Night.

Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item></channel></rss>
