Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You think that upon the score of fore-knowledge and divining I am infinitely inferior to the swans.

If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26890]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steadfastness is a noble quality, but unguided by knowledge or humility it becomes rashness or obstinacy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Steadfastness is a noble quality, but unguided by knowledge or humility it becomes rashness or obstinacy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1601]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to defend them.

All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17).
