The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our life on earth is, and ought to be, material and carnal.

The league thought we weren't good citizens, so we have to abide with what they ruled. The league thinks if one team does it, everybody is going to do it, and it would set a precedent by letting everybody go there and get benefits above and beyond what the collective bargaining agreement calls for. I don't agree or disagree. That's what the league is ruling, and I'm going to abide by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In politics nothing is contemptible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46955]]></link><description><![CDATA[In politics nothing is contemptible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I lean to you, numb as a fossil.
