The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And a million horrible bellowing echoes broke From the red-ribb'd hollow behind the wood,  And thunder'd up into Heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13305]]></link><description><![CDATA[And a million horrible bellowing echoes broke From the red-ribb'd hollow behind the wood,  And thunder'd up into Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A drummer is usually like the backbone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30689]]></link><description><![CDATA[A drummer is usually like the backbone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry teaches us music, metaphor, condensationand specificity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry teaches us music, metaphor, condensationand specificity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's real life is often the life that one does not lead ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53222]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's real life is often the life that one does not lead]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["God works in many ways His wonders to perform."

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All cases are unique and very similar to others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45303]]></link><description><![CDATA[All cases are unique and very similar to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The team played football today the way I like to see it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The team played football today the way I like to see it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He speaketh to me the words of men.
