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[You will find only what you bring in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21115]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will find only what you bring in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the quality of your intent?Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53980]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the quality of your intent?Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.My intent will be evident in the results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can believe anything provided it is incredible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4050]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can believe anything provided it is incredible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17981]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  From time immemorial men have quenched their thirst with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  From time immemorial men have quenched their thirst with water without knowing anything about its chemical constituents.
