It can only be combined with the vocation of a pioneer missionary of the classic type if matrimony is felt to be spiritually neutral, irrelevant to God's calling. Marriage can be irrelevant only if we believe that the body -- matter -- is neutral, irrelevant, or evil. Man can not believe that and believe the Christian faith. God made matter, and was incarnate in it: the comparison of the relation of husband and wife to that between Christ and the Church naturally follows. But this conclusion is not always drawn, for orthodox Christians are often prone to speak and behave as if the Lord... became not flesh but spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[China's rapid economic g rowth has resulted in tremendous progress in reducing poverty and improving the lives of people gradually, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41090]]></link><description><![CDATA[China's rapid economic g rowth has resulted in tremendous progress in reducing poverty and improving the lives of people gradually,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never let schooling interfere with my education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28148]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never let schooling interfere with my education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess some of this was brought on myself, my stupidity.
