It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Corruption continues with us beyond the grave," She said, "and then plays merry hell with all ideas ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10186]]></link><description><![CDATA["Corruption continues with us beyond the grave," She said, "and then plays merry hell with all ideas]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Light that Failed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25058]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Light that Failed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I married a German.

This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the solution is simple, God is answering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24426]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the solution is simple, God is answering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing happens unless first a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing happens unless first a dream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself. - The Art of Worldy Wisdom, 1647.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can replace a unique person like Peter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28679]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can replace a unique person like Peter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be a lot of new choices for consumers and operators to make over the next decade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42646]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be a lot of new choices for consumers and operators to make over the next decade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42646</guid></item></channel></rss>
