It is not enough for the Church to be engaged with the State in healing social ills, though this is important at times. But when the world can turn around and see a group of God's people exhibiting substantial healing in the area of human relationships in their present life, then the world will take notice. Each group of Christians is, as it were, a pilot plant, showing that something can be done in the present situation, if only we begin in the right way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to mumble when I act, 'cause I think it's more realistic.

But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman of honor should not expect of others things she would not do herself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58428]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman of honor should not expect of others things she would not do herself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How bething the, gentliman, How Adam dalf, and Eve span. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62066]]></link><description><![CDATA[How bething the, gentliman, How Adam dalf, and Eve span.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Love-star of the unbeloved March, When cold and shrill,  Forth flows beneath a low, dim-lighted arch   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10976]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Love-star of the unbeloved March, When cold and shrill,  Forth flows beneath a low, dim-lighted arch   The wind that beats sharp crag and barren hill,    And keeps unfilmed the lately torpid rill!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great numbers of Canadians... are determined to join us whenever we appear in the Country with any force to support ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great numbers of Canadians... are determined to join us whenever we appear in the Country with any force to support them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God comes to see without a bell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49267]]></link><description><![CDATA[God comes to see without a bell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speake not of a dead man at the table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speake not of a dead man at the table.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The novel is more of a whisper, whereas the stage is a shout. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The novel is more of a whisper, whereas the stage is a shout.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless, and our souls as free,  Far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43989]]></link><description><![CDATA[O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless, and our souls as free,  Far as the breeze can bear, the billows foam,   Survey our empire, and behold our home!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're essentially running a campaign without reporting who their contributors are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39624]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're essentially running a campaign without reporting who their contributors are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation.

"In all their afflictions, He was afflicted." The relation of God to the woes of the world is not that of a mere spectator. The New Testament goes further, and says that God is love. But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof. The doctrine that Christ is the image of the unseen God means that God does not stand outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most successes are unhappy.

It was because popes could and did err and because councils could and did err that Luther came to realize the supremacy of Scripture. Luther did not despise church authority, nor did he repudiate church councils as having no value. His praise of the Council of Nicaea is noteworthy. Luther and the Reformers did not mean by "Sola Scriptura" that the Bible is the only authority in the church; rather, they meant that the Bible is the only infallible authority in the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5475]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5475</guid></item></channel></rss>
