The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's great that you folks down here at WSAV are putting together this kind of telethon, ...

It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In great straits and when hope is small, the boldest counsels are the safest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4482]]></link><description><![CDATA[In great straits and when hope is small, the boldest counsels are the safest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46188]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If that proves not to be possible then I think as a community we're prepared to trust to the good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38770]]></link><description><![CDATA[If that proves not to be possible then I think as a community we're prepared to trust to the good offices of the premier and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A slander is like a hornet; if you can't kill it dead the first time, better not strike at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56560]]></link><description><![CDATA[A slander is like a hornet; if you can't kill it dead the first time, better not strike at it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  Accustom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  Accustom yourself gradually to carry Prayer into all your daily occupation -- speak, act, work in peace, as if you were in prayer, as indeed you ought to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last week I helped my friend stay put.
