The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect.

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With people of only moderate ability modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42922]]></link><description><![CDATA[With people of only moderate ability modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weak eyes are fondest of glittering objects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weak eyes are fondest of glittering objects.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy letter sent to prove me, Inflicts no sense of wrong;  No longer wilt thou love me,--   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy letter sent to prove me, Inflicts no sense of wrong;  No longer wilt thou love me,--   Thy letter, though is long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wound is for you, but the pain is for me. [Fr., La blessure est pour vous, la douleur est ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62363]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wound is for you, but the pain is for me. [Fr., La blessure est pour vous, la douleur est pour moi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you judge, investigate ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52742]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you judge, investigate]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In that the wisdom of the few becomes available to the many, there is progress in human affairs; without it, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52225]]></link><description><![CDATA[In that the wisdom of the few becomes available to the many, there is progress in human affairs; without it, the static routine of tradition continues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44423]]></link><description><![CDATA[One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63130]]></link><description><![CDATA[It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buying is cheaper than asking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buying is cheaper than asking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44362</guid></item></channel></rss>
