They are trying to save the Christians out of this labyrinth by reuniting the divided churches, by forming an alliance of churches, or by trying to form an ecumenical church. For all that, it seems very difficult to obtain the desired result, because all the present churches are still standing on the principles of the Reformation, unable to rid themselves of the sectarian spirit inherited from Catholicism. So the number of denominations and sects shows no sign of decreasing, and all efforts to unite the churches seem likely to end only in the formation of yet other sects and denominations. Yet the center of Christianity is neither institution nor organization. Nor is it even the Bible itself, as the Reformers made it, for the Eklesia existed before the formation of the New Testament canon. Christians were in fellowship with God and one another, centering their faith in Christ, long before there was any accepted New Testament. There is only one center of Christianity -- spiritual fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do not boo an Olympic Gold Medalist.

Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be carried on in such a way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever. For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others; it is the only means. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others; it is the only means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday  The apologetic of the New Testament, and of the early centuries generally, was addressed to men who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday  The apologetic of the New Testament, and of the early centuries generally, was addressed to men who had been brought up within one or other of the great pre-Christian religious systems and who had staunchly defended their own inherited traditions against the innovation of the Christian outlook; whereas any apologetic that is to be effective in this country today must be addressed to men who stand within the inheritance of the Christian tradition and know nothing, save by hearsay, of any other, but who have now in varying degrees disengaged themselves from this tradition and whose quarrel with Christianity is therefore undertaken from the point of view either of no religion at all or of some very vague and tenuous residuum of Christian religiosity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Divine Perfections.

How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soft droppes of raine perce the hard Marble, many strokes overthrow the tallest Oke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46160]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soft droppes of raine perce the hard Marble, many strokes overthrow the tallest Oke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26984]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing like a lot of exercise to make you realize you'd rather be lazy and dead sooner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing like a lot of exercise to make you realize you'd rather be lazy and dead sooner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grief is only the memory of widowed affections. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grief is only the memory of widowed affections.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pizza is a lot like sex.
