Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Organizations would do well to build decision trees and develop workflow processes to handle probable escalations or situations likely to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Organizations would do well to build decision trees and develop workflow processes to handle probable escalations or situations likely to occur based on previous customer interactions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, don't be sorrowful darling, And don't be sorrowful, pray:  Taking the year together, my dear,   There ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, don't be sorrowful darling, And don't be sorrowful, pray:  Taking the year together, my dear,   There isn't more night than day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, my lips are sewn with thread so thinpostpoems.com. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, my lips are sewn with thread so thinpostpoems.com.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Energetic action on debt would make a radical difference to the prospects of many of the poorest countries in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Energetic action on debt would make a radical difference to the prospects of many of the poorest countries in the world, at no practical cost to creditor countries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laura Bush is not the traditionalist that I think a lot of people thought she was going to be.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such is the aspect of this shore; 'Tis Greece, but living Greece no more!  So coldly sweet, so deadly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such is the aspect of this shore; 'Tis Greece, but living Greece no more!  So coldly sweet, so deadly fair,   We start, for soul is wanting there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ear is something we cannot close at will, and we are the poorer for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ear is something we cannot close at will, and we are the poorer for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That scared a lot of people and they sold their units cheaply. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41199]]></link><description><![CDATA[That scared a lot of people and they sold their units cheaply.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I dislike the frequent use of the word virtue, instead of righteousness, in the pulpit; in prayer or preaching before ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7716]]></link><description><![CDATA[I dislike the frequent use of the word virtue, instead of righteousness, in the pulpit; in prayer or preaching before a Christian community, it sounds too much like pagan philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8465]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   In the first ages, [catechizing] was a work of long time; months, sometimes years, were devoted to the arduous task of disabusing the mind of the incipient Christian of its pagan errors, and of moulding it upon the Christian faith. The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want a bourgeois existence, you shouldn't be an actor.
