St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts don't cease to exist because they are ignored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Facts don't cease to exist because they are ignored.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men so noble, However faulty, yet should find respect  For what they have been: 'tis a cruelty   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men so noble, However faulty, yet should find respect  For what they have been: 'tis a cruelty   To load a falling man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended.
