Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that there is no God, but that matter is God and God is matter; and that it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17667]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that there is no God, but that matter is God and God is matter; and that it is no matter whether there is any God or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Subdue By force, who reason for their law refuse,  Right reason for their law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Subdue By force, who reason for their law refuse,  Right reason for their law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dome of Thought, the palace of the Soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57279]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dome of Thought, the palace of the Soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And, oftentimes, excusing of a fault, Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51347]]></link><description><![CDATA[And, oftentimes, excusing of a fault, Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our people who are sitting in the dark because of these cowardly and treacherous attacks, not our occupiers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36810]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our people who are sitting in the dark because of these cowardly and treacherous attacks, not our occupiers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of it is the seat-of-your-pants-type thing and a lot of faith and trust in people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38511]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of it is the seat-of-your-pants-type thing and a lot of faith and trust in people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may fancy the Lord had His own power to fall back upon.

But that would have been to Him just the one dreadful thing. That His Father should forget him! -- no power in Himself could make up for that. He feared nothing for Himself; and never once employed His divine power to save Himself from His human fate. Let God do that for Him if He saw fit. He did not come into the world to take care of Himself... His life was of no value to Him but as His Father cared for it. God would mind all that was necessary for Him, and He would mind the work His Father had given Him to do. And, my friends, this is just the one secret of a blessed life, the one thing every man comes into this world to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  It has been too much the custom to regard the earliest Christian books ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  It has been too much the custom to regard the earliest Christian books as written in a specially Christian form of speech, standing apart and distinguishable from the common language of the eastern Roman provinces. Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is the barometer of a society's virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The measure of a man is what he does with power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64184]]></link><description><![CDATA[The measure of a man is what he does with power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But with the morning cool repentance came. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53825]]></link><description><![CDATA[But with the morning cool repentance came.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last time we did this there was some criticism on our procedure.

Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not conceive that fine clothes make fine men, any more than fine feathers make fine birds.
