To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their weapons are formidable, ...

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair land! of chivalry the old domain, Land of the vine and olive, lovely Spain!  Though not for thee ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair land! of chivalry the old domain, Land of the vine and olive, lovely Spain!  Though not for thee with classic shores to vie   In charms that fix th' enthusiast's pensive eye;    Yet hast thou scenes of beauty richly fraught     With all that wakes the glow of lofty thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the Muddy Waters thing, I played the first song by myself on an acoustic guitar.
