It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science, as in common life, we frequently see that a novelty in system, or in practice, cannot be duly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44692]]></link><description><![CDATA[In science, as in common life, we frequently see that a novelty in system, or in practice, cannot be duly appreciated till time has sobered the enthusiasm of its advocates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being on Broadway is the modern equivalent of being a monk.

I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I watched the sky a long time, concluding that such beauty was reserved for distant, dangerous places, and that nature ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14778]]></link><description><![CDATA[I watched the sky a long time, concluding that such beauty was reserved for distant, dangerous places, and that nature has good reason for exacting her own special sacrifices from those determined to witness them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be honorable yourself if you wish to associate with honorable people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be honorable yourself if you wish to associate with honorable people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure is the Mother of Philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure is the Mother of Philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles de Foucauld, Hermit, Servant of the Poor, 1916   Race highlights the fact that in our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles de Foucauld, Hermit, Servant of the Poor, 1916   Race highlights the fact that in our congregational life we usually do not reflect the variety of cultures. There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms.
