Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2023]]></link><description><![CDATA[A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then wander forth the sons Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then wander forth the sons Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity into churchiness, and the narrowing of the Gospel for all mankind into a set of approved beliefs; but the chief cause must be the worship of an inadequate god -- a cramped and regulated god who is a 'good churchman' according to the formulas of the worshipper. For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A beautiful line of verse has twelve feet, and two wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65325]]></link><description><![CDATA[A beautiful line of verse has twelve feet, and two wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be true to each other, let 'appen what maay Till the end o' the daay  An the last ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15634]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be true to each other, let 'appen what maay Till the end o' the daay  An the last load hoam.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is intensity.
