The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue itself scapes not calumnious strokes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a very sad time and a big loss for me personally.

When this particular neurosis becomes inconvenient to the government, what is to hinder the government from proceeding to 'cure' It? Such 'cure' will , of course, be compulsory; but under the humanitarian theory it will not be called by the shocking name of Persecution. No one will blame us for being Christians, no one will hate us, no one revile us. The new Nero will approach us with the silky manners of a doctor, and though all will be in fact {compulsory}, all will go on within the unemotional therapeutic sphere where words like 'right' and 'wrong' , or 'freedom' and 'slavery' are never heard. And thus when the command is given, every prominent Christian in the land may vanish overnight into Institutions for the Treatment of the Ideologically Unsound, and it will rest with the expert gaolers to when (if ever) they are to emerge. But it will not be persecution. Even if the treatment is painful, even if it is life-long, even if if it is fatal, that will be only a regrettable accident, the intention was purely therapeutic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the will abandons what is above itself and turns to what is lower, it becomes evil -- not because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8459]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the will abandons what is above itself and turns to what is lower, it becomes evil -- not because that is evil to which it turns, but because the turning itself is wicked.
