It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such is the essential mystery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43555]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such is the essential mystery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life itself can't give you joy, unless you really will it.

Every man is to work for his living. "If a man will not work, neither let him eat." But those who cannot work are to be provided for out of the common fund. Old and helpless persons who have relations of their own should, indeed, find support from them and not be forced to come upon the Church; but for the resourceless the Church must provide. And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't take life seriously because you can't come out of it alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't take life seriously because you can't come out of it alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Sid's suicide note:)WE HAD A DEATHPACT I HAVE TO KEEPMY HALF OF THEBARGAIN.PLEASE BURY MEPTONEXT TO MY BABY.BURY ME IN ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52583]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Sid's suicide note:)WE HAD A DEATHPACT I HAVE TO KEEPMY HALF OF THEBARGAIN.PLEASE BURY MEPTONEXT TO MY BABY.BURY ME IN MYLEATHER JACKET,JEANS AND MOTORCYCLE BOOTSGOODBYE]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not satisfied with himself will grow; he who is not sure of his own correctness will learn ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54736]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is not satisfied with himself will grow; he who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's obviously a ton of money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36027]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's obviously a ton of money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spiritual eyesight improves as the physical eyesight declines. -Plato. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1888]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spiritual eyesight improves as the physical eyesight declines. -Plato.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou whoreson zed, thou unnecessary letter! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou whoreson zed, thou unnecessary letter!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All cases are unique and very similar to others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45303]]></link><description><![CDATA[All cases are unique and very similar to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I court not the votes of the fickle mob. [Lat., Non ego ventosae plebis suffragia venor.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61006]]></link><description><![CDATA[I court not the votes of the fickle mob. [Lat., Non ego ventosae plebis suffragia venor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The religious desire and effort of the soul to relate itself and all its interest to God and his will, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6574]]></link><description><![CDATA[The religious desire and effort of the soul to relate itself and all its interest to God and his will, is prayer in the deepest sense.
