St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a nice little market to get into.

But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to the load, before we are required to bear it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had two major benefactors that really made sure the women and children ... got their wish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33343]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had two major benefactors that really made sure the women and children ... got their wish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As Christ drew near to death, He Himself trembled.

Does he think that in that way he will have straightway persuaded us to have complete confidence in him, to look to him for consolation, for advice, and for help, in the vicissitudes of life? Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones? Is that a thing to say blithely? Is it not rather a thing to say sadly -- as if it were the saddest thing in the world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We published six books in our first year, we're publishing nine this year, and we're scheduled to publish 12 in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31390]]></link><description><![CDATA[We published six books in our first year, we're publishing nine this year, and we're scheduled to publish 12 in 2006,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever creativity is, it is in part a solution to a problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All people, however fanatical they may be in their zeal to disparage and to fight capitalism, implicitly pay homage to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15721]]></link><description><![CDATA[All people, however fanatical they may be in their zeal to disparage and to fight capitalism, implicitly pay homage to it by passionately clamoring for the products it turns out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're just normal everyday kids. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40561]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're just normal everyday kids.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[TV - a clever contraction derived from the words Terrible Vaudeville.
