It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will be hanged if some eternal villain, Some busy and insinuating rogue,  Some cogging, cozening slave, to get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56554]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will be hanged if some eternal villain, Some busy and insinuating rogue,  Some cogging, cozening slave, to get some office,   Have not devised this slander.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51940]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of man; and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no accidents.

The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acquaintance: a degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor or obscure, and intimate when he is rich ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acquaintance: a degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor or obscure, and intimate when he is rich or famous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is unacceptable.
