And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are your choices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6092]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are your choices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17610]]></link><description><![CDATA[In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have a measure of abundance or population density of a single snake in Africa.

Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hole calls the thiefe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49871]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hole calls the thiefe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye will have his part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49841]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye will have his part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, 597 Commemoration of Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Hymnographer, Teacher, 373  When everything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, 597 Commemoration of Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Hymnographer, Teacher, 373  When everything we receive from him is received and prized as fruit and pledge of his covenant love, then his bounties, instead of being set up as rivals and idols to draw our heart from him, awaken us to fresh exercises of gratitude and furnish us with fresh motives of cheerful obedience every hour.'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Political promises are much like marriage vows.
