It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am slow of study. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beare with evill, and expect good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beare with evill, and expect good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever serves his country well has no need of ancestors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever serves his country well has no need of ancestors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as tourists, (Worcester County) can't be beat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40016]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as tourists, (Worcester County) can't be beat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can laugh together, you can work together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58772]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can laugh together, you can work together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27151]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9260]]></link><description><![CDATA[There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter were unflattering]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin,  Mein Herz ist schwer.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19047]]></link><description><![CDATA[My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin,  Mein Herz ist schwer.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. -Buddha.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is it just me or do we seem to ignore the intelligent people in politics and focus on the radical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is it just me or do we seem to ignore the intelligent people in politics and focus on the radical idiots?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose firm is equal to the deed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16041]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose firm is equal to the deed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one age believes too much it is natural that another believes too little. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53625]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one age believes too much it is natural that another believes too little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't do this now people will not be able to recover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29099]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't do this now people will not be able to recover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/68]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/68</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all die.
