This supposition rests upon a misunderstanding of what is meant by "the Kingdom of God"... The Kingdom itself is not something to be "furthered" or "built" by men's efforts. It is something which we are invited to recognize as already present, after a manner, in the life and work of Jesus. It is something to be inherited or entered into by those who believe. The task of the Church, in other words, is not to set the stage for a better world than this one but to draw the curtain from it, to reveal something that is already there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Again a different meaning has to be understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Again a different meaning has to be understood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assumptions are the termites of relationships. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assumptions are the termites of relationships.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without duty, life is soft and boneless; it cannot hold itself together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without duty, life is soft and boneless; it cannot hold itself together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing's more dull and negligent Than an old, lazy government,  That knows no interest of state,   But ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing's more dull and negligent Than an old, lazy government,  That knows no interest of state,   But such as serves a present strait.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9839]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today's accomplishments were yesterday's impossibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today's accomplishments were yesterday's impossibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to UNlearn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56498]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not so much what you have to learn if you accept weird theories, it's what you have to UNlearn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871   Knowing God is more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871   Knowing God is more than knowing about Him; it is a matter of dealing with Him as He opens up to you, and being dealt with by Him as He takes knowledge of you.
