The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were treated like animals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36174]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were treated like animals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690   A temple may be defined as an edifice dedicated ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690   A temple may be defined as an edifice dedicated to the worship of a deity. Whether this deity be true or false, the temple as such becomes a meeting-place for people who desire to worship as they understand it. For the ancient Hebrews, the Temple in Jerusalem was the house of God, the place where God dwelt symbolically, and met with people who came to worship. Jesus called it "My Father's house." For the Christian, the word 'church' has become the symbol for the edifice built and dedicated for the worship of God. But unless it is so dedicated and so used, it may be considered only a mere building or club-house. However beautiful its design and architecture, a church is a true temple only as it is frequented by God's people who come to "worship Him in spirit and in truth," and who there hold forth "the word of life." (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more specific you are, the more general it'll be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33605]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more specific you are, the more general it'll be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And yet he hadde "a thombe of gold" pardee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17771]]></link><description><![CDATA[And yet he hadde "a thombe of gold" pardee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man or woman has achieved an effective personality who is not self-disciplined.

But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played very sloppy early.

"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today is a smooth white seashell, hold it close and listen to the beauty of the hours. -Anon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today is a smooth white seashell, hold it close and listen to the beauty of the hours. -Anon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I argue very well.
