Life is a process of becoming, and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish, to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable, especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it, is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His golden locks time hath to silver turned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50821]]></link><description><![CDATA[His golden locks time hath to silver turned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anarchy is a form of crime ...

The Love Feast, which should have been the sign and symbol of perfect unity, has become a thing of divisions and class distinctions. And here there is something which only the newer translations reveal. In the older translations, it is said that to eat and drink at the sacrament without discerning the Lord's body is the way to judgment and not to salvation. But in the best Greek text, the word Lord's is not included. The sin is not to discern the body; that is to say, not to discern that the church is a body, not to be aware of the oneness of the church, not to be aware of the togetherness in which all its members should be joined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds contempt--and children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds contempt--and children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A system of doctrine has risen up during the last three centuries, in which faith or spiritual-mindedness is contemplated and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7199]]></link><description><![CDATA[A system of doctrine has risen up during the last three centuries, in which faith or spiritual-mindedness is contemplated and rested on as the end of religion, instead of Christ. I do not mean to say that Christ is not mentioned as the author of all good, but that stress is laid on the believing rather than on the object of belief, on the comfort and persuasiveness of the doctrine than on the doctrine itself. And in this way religion is made to consist of contemplating ourselves, instead of Christ; not simply in looking to Christ, but in seeing that we look to Christ; not in His divinity and atonement, but in our conversion and faith in Him...

There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln, Teacher, 1910 Commemoration of Martyrs of Uganda, 1886 & 1978  God frees ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln, Teacher, 1910 Commemoration of Martyrs of Uganda, 1886 & 1978  God frees our souls, not from service, not from duty, but into service and into duty; and he who mistakes the purpose of his freedom mistakes the character of his freedom.
