And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like a major sporting event you're competing in.

I think that the Catholic Church ought to have maintained and used ecclesiastical and sacerdotal authority, but that its maintenance and its use ought to have been accompanied with a continual fear. Because they had before them this fact, that however divinely authoritative, however securely resting on a basis of legitimate and genuine inspiration, yet the ecclesiastical authority of the Old Covenant, by no process of sudden revolution, but simply by a process of gradual development, was capable of becoming something so utterly alien in spirit from what it was intended to be, that when the Christ came, to prepare for whom and to welcome whom was the one reason for which it existed, it did in fact reject Him utterly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scribblers are a self-conceited and self-worshipping race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scribblers are a self-conceited and self-worshipping race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our role is to make farmers as efficient as we can, to sell them the right product to make them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our role is to make farmers as efficient as we can, to sell them the right product to make them the most amount of money.

The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman of mystique is fully aware of her flaws and weaknesses, yet she is strong enough to admit them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61348]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman of mystique is fully aware of her flaws and weaknesses, yet she is strong enough to admit them and not be embarrassed by them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without the spice of guilt, sin cannot be fully savored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without the spice of guilt, sin cannot be fully savored.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see no reason why Tiger Woods won't become a great player.
