This He does for the sake of what man is to inherit, to become. And for the means, He gives him over to a Person, Christ, and a community, the Church; and in attachment to these, personality grows, freedom is attained, sin is forgiven, estrangement is ended, capacities for relationship extend. Reconciliation is the Spirit's liberating work of love, exercised through a Person and a community of persons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  The indwelling of Christ's Spirit means not only moral discernment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  The indwelling of Christ's Spirit means not only moral discernment but moral power. Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot teach a crab to walk straight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29573]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot teach a crab to walk straight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why we brought LaMont Jordan here, to run the ball.

The Christian Church has a secret at her heart and she wants to share it. Whenever one, by repentance and forgiveness, enters this community of grace, he discovers life's end, and he too will be constrained to let this life flow out in appropriate channels. Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends]. The group will never forget that one of its primary functions is to up build the members in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats need it; we don't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats need it; we don't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evangelism is selling a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evangelism is selling a dream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The passage of time is simply an illusion created by our brains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59300]]></link><description><![CDATA[The passage of time is simply an illusion created by our brains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty is that feeling by which honorable shame acquires a valuable and lasting authority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty is that feeling by which honorable shame acquires a valuable and lasting authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mocking the air with colours idly spread. -King John.
