Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their feet through faithless leather met the dirt, And oftener chang'd their principles than shirt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2773]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their feet through faithless leather met the dirt, And oftener chang'd their principles than shirt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is scar tissue in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is scar tissue in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3544]]></link><description><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we dream so we don't have to be away from one another.

He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  If the [Incarnation] happened, it was the central event ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  If the [Incarnation] happened, it was the central event in the history of the Earth -- the very thing that the whole story has been about. Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Universal peace sounds ridiculous to the head of an average family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Universal peace sounds ridiculous to the head of an average family.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time moves in one direction, memory in another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time moves in one direction, memory in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48654]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's no failure.
