It seems a truly terrible thing that this Sacred Appointment, which was surely meant to unite, in actual practice divides Christians more sharply than any other part of their worship. Christians of various denominations may, and frequently do, work together on social projects, they may study the Scripture together, and they may ... pray together. But the moment attendance at the Lord's Table is suggested, up go the denominational barriers... I would make a strong plea that we do not exclude from the Lord's Table in our Church those who are undoubtedly sincere Christians. I cannot believe that to communicate together with our Lord should be regarded as the consummation, the final pinnacle, of the whole vast work of Reunion. Suppose it is the means and not the end. We might feel far more sharply the sin of our divisions and of our exclusiveness if we came humbly together to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and in that reception we might find such a quickening of our common devotion to Him that the divisions between us might be found not nearly so insuperable as we supposed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He went through some treatment today and the doctors are continuing to be encouraged, but he's really still in that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35907]]></link><description><![CDATA[He went through some treatment today and the doctors are continuing to be encouraged, but he's really still in that active rest period.

I have no hesitation in answering, Yes, it can, and it must. St. Paul wrote, "The very spring of our actions is the love of Christ. We look at it this way: if one died for all men, then in a sense, they all died; and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them." There is the motive. Can anyone doubt that St. Paul's ministry was fruitful -- in wisdom, in Christ-like character, in testimony to the power of the Spirit of Christ -- or effective -- in conversions, in churches planted, in men raised up to carry on the work? Yet St. Paul spent long hours working with his hands to support himself. He served Christ, therefore, as an "amateur". Dare we say he was not really a "full time" worker? Or was he not really "unpaid"?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was just a huge need in the industry for some independent people with a real strong knowledge of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33170]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was just a huge need in the industry for some independent people with a real strong knowledge of the industry and their methods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wedding is destiny, and hanging likewise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wedding is destiny, and hanging likewise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were together almost every day this summer.
