Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19678]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vice deceives us when dressed in the garb of virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vice deceives us when dressed in the garb of virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentimentality is unearned emotion ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentimentality is unearned emotion]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[it's strange to think of yourself as an only child and then suddenly find yourself with three siblings.
