Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grant that the old Adam in these persons may be so buried, that the new man may be raised up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grant that the old Adam in these persons may be so buried, that the new man may be raised up in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise learn many things from their foes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52439]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise learn many things from their foes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[While her actor dad, John Aniston, was in Los Angeles taping his soap opera, Days of Our Lives, Aniston was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38608]]></link><description><![CDATA[[While her actor dad, John Aniston, was in Los Angeles taping his soap opera, Days of Our Lives, Aniston was living in New York with her mom, a sometime actress-model, and attending the performing arts high school made famous by Fame.

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prolifers support warwaging candidateswhose bomber planes become partial birth abortionists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prolifers support warwaging candidateswhose bomber planes become partial birth abortionists.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affectation is a very good word when someone does not wish to confess to what he would none the less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affectation is a very good word when someone does not wish to confess to what he would none the less like to believe of himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They (Penn-Trafford) did everything perfect until the final three minutes.
