If they follow Jesus, men escape from the hard yoke of their own laws, and submit to the kindly yoke of Jesus Christ. But does this mean that we can ignore the seriousness of His command? Far from it! We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when His command, His call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the man who follows the command of Jesus without reserve, and submits unresistingly to His yoke, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard -- unutterably hard -- for those who try to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How did Jesus show his authority?

Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played good defense (all game) and ran our offense (in the second half).

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that asks me what heaven is, means not to hear me, but to silence me; He knows I cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8205]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that asks me what heaven is, means not to hear me, but to silence me; He knows I cannot tell him.

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, how full of briers is this working-day world! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62143]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, how full of briers is this working-day world!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great Creator to revereMust sure become the creature;But still the preaching cant forbear,And ev'n the rigid feature:Yet ne'er with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25299]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great Creator to revereMust sure become the creature;But still the preaching cant forbear,And ev'n the rigid feature:Yet ne'er with wits profane to rangeBe complaisance extended;An atheist laugh's a poor exchangeFor deity offended. - Epistle to a Young Friend, An.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She had a good opinion of advice, Like all who give and eke receive it gratis,  For which small ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/775]]></link><description><![CDATA[She had a good opinion of advice, Like all who give and eke receive it gratis,  For which small thanks are still the market price,   Even where the article at highest rate is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility.
