And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3136]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was more convinced than ever that the preaching like an Apostle, without joining together those that are awakened and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6310]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was more convinced than ever that the preaching like an Apostle, without joining together those that are awakened and training them up in the ways of God, is only begetting children for the murderer.
