We do not normally reflect that this sense of solidarity is very often gained at the expense of the unity which we ought to be experiencing with our fellow-Christian next door who belongs to a different denomination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old cat will not learn how to dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11007]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old cat will not learn how to dance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest thing is the willingness for everyone to buy in and do their roles.

And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ships feare fire more then water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ships feare fire more then water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Debt is the slavery of the free ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Debt is the slavery of the free]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Aesthetics of Repetition II ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30991]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Aesthetics of Repetition II]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we tried to stop them, they started pelting us with stones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41364]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we tried to stop them, they started pelting us with stones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frankly it's going a lot faster than I had expected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Frankly it's going a lot faster than I had expected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, I suppose I can give your career a bit of a leg-up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, I suppose I can give your career a bit of a leg-up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We continue to demand that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia get immediate access to Kosovo, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41092]]></link><description><![CDATA[We continue to demand that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia get immediate access to Kosovo,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As we find ourselves in the middle of this building boom, it's a more acute problem than ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32162]]></link><description><![CDATA[As we find ourselves in the middle of this building boom, it's a more acute problem than ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4692]]></link><description><![CDATA[To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who wooed in haste, and means to wed at leisure. -The Taming of the Shrew.

Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free.

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact consists in knowing how far to go too far. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact consists in knowing how far to go too far.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58550</guid></item></channel></rss>
