And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ...

Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hesitated to do it last year, but finally decided we need to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30273]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hesitated to do it last year, but finally decided we need to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Count not him among your friends who will retail your privacies to the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Count not him among your friends who will retail your privacies to the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Caring is a powerful business advantage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Caring is a powerful business advantage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not him that hath once broken faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not him that hath once broken faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prepare by knowing your walk away [conditions] and by building the number of variables you can work with during the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prepare by knowing your walk away [conditions] and by building the number of variables you can work with during the negotiation... you need to have a walk away... a combination of price, terms, and deliverables that represents the least you will accept.
