To me, at least, this is a thoroughly unsound argument, for Christ did not come into the world to bring men "specialized activity," but life, fuller and more satisfying than it had been ever before. If the churches have made Christianity appear to be some kind of specialized spiritual performance so much the worse for them. The real purpose of Christ, the real relevance of the Gospel, is surely to enable men to live together as sons of God. Human beings, like children, love to have secrets, love to be "in the know." But the Christian religion was never meant to be a secret recipe for living, held by a few. It is Good News for all mankind and, because it is that, the more clearly and intelligibly it can be presented, the more faithfully it is following its Master's purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of us love applause, and so we should - it means that the listener likes us! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34485]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of us love applause, and so we should - it means that the listener likes us!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farewell, my friends! farewell, my foes! My peace with these, my love with those.  The bursting tears my heart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Farewell, my friends! farewell, my foes! My peace with these, my love with those.  The bursting tears my heart declare;   Farewell, the bonnie banks of Ayr.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been there on World Wars, it's time for World Party I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45585]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been there on World Wars, it's time for World Party I.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never been able to play defense in my life.
