The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lawlessness is lawlessness.

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we thought it would improve our relationship, we would get married tomorrow, but as it is, nearly 7 years ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30062]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we thought it would improve our relationship, we would get married tomorrow, but as it is, nearly 7 years after we got engaged, we are content to wait.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still get 100 percent of what we were owed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40983]]></link><description><![CDATA[We still get 100 percent of what we were owed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40983</guid></item></channel></rss>
