There are siren voices (as well as gut reactions) telling Christians that the way to success in evangelism is to follow the natural divisions, and to try to build churches along cultural, social and racial divisions. In doing so, they ignore the "success" in the New Testament in crossing these lines; more importantly, they are in fact stressing success more highly than the truth of the gospel. To buy success at the price of treating the fundamental nature of the gospel as dispensable is to follow a false gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God save the mark. -King Henry IV.

The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21308]]></link><description><![CDATA[The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15152]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of a family is life's greatest blessing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War with vices, but peace with individuals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50409]]></link><description><![CDATA[War with vices, but peace with individuals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let every man practise the trade which he best understands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let every man practise the trade which he best understands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American presidency will demand more than ringing manifestos issued from the rear of the battle.
