For if the attribute "Christian" can be given sense from Eph. 2, then it means reconciled and reconciling, triumphant over walls and removing the debris, showing solidarity with the "enemy" and promoting not one's own peace of mind but "our peace"... When this peace is deprived of its social, national, or economic dimensions, when it is distorted or emasculated so much that only "peace of mind" enjoyed by saintly individuals is left -- then Jesus Christ is being flatly denied. To propose, in the name of Christianity, neutrality or unconcern on questions of international, racial, or economic peace -- this amounts to using Christ's name in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've chosen the path to equality, don't let them turn us around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27177]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've chosen the path to equality, don't let them turn us around.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the best possible time for big companies to go after online opportunities, ...

Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're doing fundraising, providing food, housing clothing, whatever she needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30379]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're doing fundraising, providing food, housing clothing, whatever she needs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to urge all system builders ? indeed, all Partners ? not to supply naked PCs.
