Here we all gather around the one Altar, here we all share in shaping the policy of the Church in this diocese; here we all take part in making provision for carrying on the work of the Church during the coming year. At this time, year by year, we are specially conscious of our unity in Christ, and are made aware afresh that we are members of this new race of human beings which is made up of all those of every ethnic group who have been added to Christ. We are members of that Kingdom in which all human antagonisms are transcended. Yet we shall not interpret aright this unity which is ours in Christ Jesus unless we continually remind ourselves that it has its origin in His death and resurrection. The Church springs out of the deeds of Jesus done in the flesh, and we can only fulfill our destiny in the Church as we learn that we are utterly dependent upon the whole Body of Christ. . . . Whatever gifts we possess belong to the Body, and are useful only as they are used in the common life of the Church. All this is made very plain in the New Testament Epistles, for in them we are taught that each local Christian community is a fellowship in which every member is to live in humility and in love to the brethren. Yet no local church is to live to it self. Again and again, local churches are reminded of their close relationship to one another, in life, work, worship, pain, and death. Not that such a relationship is to be regarded either as a matter of convenience or as a question of organization. On the contrary, this intimate relationship is seen as the direct outcome of the saving work of Christ. This unity with one another, and of local churches with each other, is the unity which belongs to the Body of Christ, arising from the unity of God Himself, uttered in the dying and rising again of Jesus, and now expressed in the order and structure of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to love humanity than to love one's neighbor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4947]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to love humanity than to love one's neighbor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to miss him a lot.

Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should have no trouble getting up for a school like Kentucky.

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature made every fop to plague his brother, Just as one beauty mortifies another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16424]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature made every fop to plague his brother, Just as one beauty mortifies another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just don't see the wage pressures and I think the bond market is so happy because that means there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42252]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just don't see the wage pressures and I think the bond market is so happy because that means there really isn't any threat of inflation out there.
