This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.

To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you any relation to your brother Marv?(spoken to announcer Steve Albert) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you any relation to your brother Marv?(spoken to announcer Steve Albert)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People do not cooperate under the division of labor because they love or should love one another.
