He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to the town of New Haven, The home of the truth and the light,  Where God speaks to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to the town of New Haven, The home of the truth and the light,  Where God speaks to Jones,   In the very same tones,    That he uses with Hadley and Dwight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest follies are the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes folies sont les meilleures.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16331]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest follies are the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes folies sont les meilleures.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To believe in one's dreams is to spend all of one's life asleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12904]]></link><description><![CDATA[To believe in one's dreams is to spend all of one's life asleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity, since the tastes, knowledge, and principles of the majority form ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47091]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity, since the tastes, knowledge, and principles of the majority form the tribunal of appeal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44830]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always say don't make plans, make options. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37792]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always say don't make plans, make options.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48161]]></link><description><![CDATA[The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and social being]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61776]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?

That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lucia Pinochet is currently in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody at Dulles International Airport, pending resolution of her immigration ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lucia Pinochet is currently in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody at Dulles International Airport, pending resolution of her immigration status.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that hath a Fox for his mate, hath neede of a net at his girdle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that hath a Fox for his mate, hath neede of a net at his girdle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Thy good word informs my soul How I may climb to heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54919]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Thy good word informs my soul How I may climb to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an incredibly inviting place to be.

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[War: a wretched debasement of all the pretenses of civilization. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47491]]></link><description><![CDATA[War: a wretched debasement of all the pretenses of civilization.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never knew any many in my life, who could not bear another's misfortunes perfectly like a Christian. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42813]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never knew any many in my life, who could not bear another's misfortunes perfectly like a Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seeing if we can get some personalities together.

When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself. This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven. And this we may be sure is not only necessary, but attainable by us, or our Saviour would not have made it a part of our daily prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No sacrifice short of individual liberty, individual self-respect, and individual enterprise is too great a price to pay for permanent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54611]]></link><description><![CDATA[No sacrifice short of individual liberty, individual self-respect, and individual enterprise is too great a price to pay for permanent peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The city is huge.
