Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kelly has everything we look for in a defensive lineman.

The complete professionalization of a priestly ministry largely eliminated laymen from direct evangelism and robbed them of the missionary spirit, since they were not to be trusted to teach and could not validly administer the saving symbols. The reliance on organization and ceremonial grace, along with the growing concept of the representative relation of the Pope on earth to the Christ in heaven, involved a practical ignoring of the Holy Spirit as the divinely ordained Counterpart of the Christ and the informing soul of the Church... The vast territorial extent of Christianity and the very general ignorance of world geography made it possible for Christians to lose sight of the non-Christian world and to feel, even if somewhat vaguely, that the Christian task was complete, so far as its world occupation was concerned. The Mohammedan growth had encircled the Christian territories. The relations between Christendom and the Mohammedan world fostered anything else than a spirit of helpfulness and a disposition to give the blessings of the one to the other. Christian information about the heathen world was largely cut off by... Mohammedanism; and in order to reach the heathen, missionaries would have to make their way through Mohammedan territory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever any one does or says, I must be good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever any one does or says, I must be good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bodily disease, which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18960]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bodily disease, which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual past -Nathaniel Hawthorne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simple pleasures are always the last refuge of the complex ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simple pleasures are always the last refuge of the complex]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coldest bodies warm with opposition; the hardest sparkle in collision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45139]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coldest bodies warm with opposition; the hardest sparkle in collision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious.

In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask five economists and you'll get five different answers (six if one went to Harvard). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask five economists and you'll get five different answers (six if one went to Harvard).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words of love, are works of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words of love, are works of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah me! we wound where we never intended to strike; we create anger where we never meant harm; and these ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah me! we wound where we never intended to strike; we create anger where we never meant harm; and these thoughts are the thorns in our cushion.   - William Makepeace Thackeray,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn what is good, a thousand days are not sufficient; to learn what is evil, an hour is too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63010]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn what is good, a thousand days are not sufficient; to learn what is evil, an hour is too long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think Joey O'Neill will have a good game.
