Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13160]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obliged by hunger and request of friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obliged by hunger and request of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are lacking in faith, Others will be unfaithful to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21163]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are lacking in faith, Others will be unfaithful to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience has taught me that you have to improve all the time-little bit by little bit-and not keeping starting everything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience has taught me that you have to improve all the time-little bit by little bit-and not keeping starting everything from new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12922]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taking he SAT is like going to the doctor.

St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He got there late and I briefed him.
