Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is purpose in pain, Otherwise it were devilish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45366]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is purpose in pain, Otherwise it were devilish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to site thn it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that for the highest achievements nowadays... need to have the stable as a rock scientific base.

Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52664]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29457]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963   The... task of the ministry is, not to undertake some specialist activity from which the rest of the faithful are excluded, but to pioneer in doing that which the whole church must do. And the ministry itself is no originator, but receives its task from Christ.
