The institution is static, whereas its parent movement has been dynamic; it confines men within its limits, while the movement had liberated them from the bondage of institutions; it looks to the past, [although] the movement had pointed forward. Though in content the institution resembles the dynamic epoch whence it proceeded, in spirit it is like the [state] before the revolution. So the Christian church, after the early period, often seemed more closely related in attitude to the Jewish synagogue and the Roman state than to the age of Christ and his apostles; its creed was often more like a system of philosophy than like the living gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It feels good to be able to contribute on a senior-dominated team.

You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where this could hurt the company is in its reputation of not being a great place to work.
