Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62159]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. What drudgery is inevitable will be done as a service and duty for a few years or months out of each life; it will not consume nor degrade the whole life of anyone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66656]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm good at reading people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm good at reading people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're losing time.

The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.
