There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3204]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not going to be mad, and I'm not going to dwell on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28420]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not going to be mad, and I'm not going to dwell on it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie!" till you can find a rock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie!" till you can find a rock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Museums are becoming gathering places for the community. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Museums are becoming gathering places for the community.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good people are always so sure they're right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good people are always so sure they're right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What an enormous magnifier is tradition!

These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the catching ends the pleasure of the chase ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46681]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the catching ends the pleasure of the chase]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the position, but the disposition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21640]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the position, but the disposition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a dangerous business, going out your door.
