What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In his holy flirtation with the world, God occasionally drops a handkerchief.

It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41408]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The forehead is the gate of the mind. [Lat., Frons est animi janua.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27512]]></link><description><![CDATA[The forehead is the gate of the mind. [Lat., Frons est animi janua.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just been one of those years when so many dreams have come true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39714]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's just been one of those years when so many dreams have come true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's never a new fashion but it's old. - The Canterbury Tales. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2886]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's never a new fashion but it's old. - The Canterbury Tales.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother speaks of my step being a source of life-long pain to her, that it is a living death, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34410]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother speaks of my step being a source of life-long pain to her, that it is a living death, etc. By the same post I had several letters from anxious relatives, telling me that it was my duty to come home and thus ease my mother's anxiety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctor?s authorized me to indicate to the public that he acknowledges that he has an alcohol problem.
