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[We may not be able to offer long-term employment, but we should try to offer long-term employability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15769]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may not be able to offer long-term employment, but we should try to offer long-term employability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The impression somehow prevails that the true believer, particularly the religious individual, is a humble person.
