It remains the great problem of interpretation, hitherto never entirely solved, how to unite these two things: the keen attention to what Paul wanted to say to that community then, and the search for what God wants to say to us through Paul today. In the end, the question is whether the reader will really allow God to speak to him, or whether he evades God by hiding behind "Paul", behind "the past".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906 Continuing a short series on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906 Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   He who has not forgiven an enemy has not yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thousand trills and quivering sounds In airy circles o'er us fly,  Till, wafted by a gentle breeze,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57289]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thousand trills and quivering sounds In airy circles o'er us fly,  Till, wafted by a gentle breeze,   They faint and languish by degrees,    And at a distance die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ORIGINALITY is unexplored territory.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way of transgressors is hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48642]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way of transgressors is hard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  No doubt the gospel is quite free, as free as the Victoria Cross, which anyone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  No doubt the gospel is quite free, as free as the Victoria Cross, which anyone can have who is prepared to face the risks; but it means time, and pains, and concentrating all one's energies upon a mighty project. You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A married woman has the same right to control her own body as does an unmarried woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63992]]></link><description><![CDATA[A married woman has the same right to control her own body as does an unmarried woman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With good and gentle-humored hearts I choose to chat where'er I come  Whate'er the subject be that starts.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10085]]></link><description><![CDATA[With good and gentle-humored hearts I choose to chat where'er I come  Whate'er the subject be that starts.   But if I get among the glum    I hold my tongue to tell the truth     And keep my breath to cool my broth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Care is taken that trees do not grow into the sky. [Ger., Es ist dafur gesorgt, dass die Baume nicht ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59681]]></link><description><![CDATA[Care is taken that trees do not grow into the sky. [Ger., Es ist dafur gesorgt, dass die Baume nicht in den Himmel wachsen.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59681</guid></item></channel></rss>
