Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I draw most of my religious beliefs from Star Wars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4087]]></link><description><![CDATA[I draw most of my religious beliefs from Star Wars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Makes a swan-like end, Fading in music. -The Merchant of Venice.

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut...

Nothing else in the world demonstrates how real is God's love to the sinful, and how real the sin of the world is to God. And the love which comes to us through such an expression, bearing sin in all its reality, yet loving us through and beyond it, is the only love which at once forgives and regenerates the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They made it tough on us.
