As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1316]]></link><description><![CDATA[When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have spoken the word, it reigns over you.

What a comfort it is to know the Man in charge of it all. Without Him, it would be easy to think that the whole of time and space, and life itself, are without reason, purpose, or meaning -- as H. G. Wells said, that it is "a bad joke beyond our unterstanding, a flare of vulgarity, an empty laugh braying across the mysteries." With Jesus forever between God and us, we can understand a few things, and trust Him for the rest. After all, He is one of us: a baby once, as we all were; then, and forever after, a Man, as we all shall always be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am at Rome, I fast on a Saturday: when I am at Milan I do not.

Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14321]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He went like one that hath been stunn'd, And is of sense forlorn:  A sadder and a wiser man, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42799]]></link><description><![CDATA[He went like one that hath been stunn'd, And is of sense forlorn:  A sadder and a wiser man,   He rose the morrow morn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no signs of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36632]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no signs of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To talk much and arrive nowhere is the same as climbing a tree to catch a fish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62833]]></link><description><![CDATA[To talk much and arrive nowhere is the same as climbing a tree to catch a fish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3328]]></link><description><![CDATA[As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began.
