The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you doubt, abstain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12788]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you doubt, abstain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64456]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge exists to be imparted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge exists to be imparted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All labours draw hame at even, And can to others say,  "Thanks to the gracious God of heaven,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58262]]></link><description><![CDATA[All labours draw hame at even, And can to others say,  "Thanks to the gracious God of heaven,   Whilk sent this summer day."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The flying rumours gather'd as the roll'd, Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told;  And all who told ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54555]]></link><description><![CDATA[The flying rumours gather'd as the roll'd, Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told;  And all who told it added something new.   And all who heard it made enlargements too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The old pagans had to choose between a brilliant, jangling, irresponsible universe, alive with lawless powers, and the serene and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The old pagans had to choose between a brilliant, jangling, irresponsible universe, alive with lawless powers, and the serene and ordered universe of God and law. We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scope is a pox on humanity.
