His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want everybody out there, and we miss the guys who are out, but there's a mentality in the room ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40027]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want everybody out there, and we miss the guys who are out, but there's a mentality in the room where we're focused on what's in front of us.

Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the church was in the county, this never would have happened.
