The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must lead by example of mercy and forgiveness, a trait every Muslim must have by very definition of being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34342]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must lead by example of mercy and forgiveness, a trait every Muslim must have by very definition of being a follower of Islam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though little fire grows great with little wind, Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though little fire grows great with little wind, Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miserable man makes a peny of a farthing, and the liberall of a farthing sixe pence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49895]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miserable man makes a peny of a farthing, and the liberall of a farthing sixe pence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?
