If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absorption of the individual in the universal is only another term for its destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7582]]></link><description><![CDATA[The absorption of the individual in the universal is only another term for its destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dominic, Priest, Founder of the Order of Preachers, 1221   The mystery revealed, in a unique degree ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dominic, Priest, Founder of the Order of Preachers, 1221   The mystery revealed, in a unique degree and form, in Christ's life, is really a universal spiritual human law: the law of suffering and sacrifice, as the one way to joy and possession, which has existed, though veiled till now, since the foundation of the world.   ... Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10482]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold him alone truly fortunate who has ended his life in happy well-being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold him alone truly fortunate who has ended his life in happy well-being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm in charge of the EOC ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31559]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm in charge of the EOC]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk more. -Erica Jong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14791]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk more. -Erica Jong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was a bombadier in WW 2.

In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who gets the better of an irascible temperament conquers his worst enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51608]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who gets the better of an irascible temperament conquers his worst enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fox and the CrowA crow having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1598]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Fox and the CrowA crow having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in her beak. A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just unreal.

Of course, such a way is hard and costly, but it is also joyous and rewarding even in the here-and-now. People who follow that Way know beyond all possible argument that they are in harmony with the purpose of God, that Christ is with them and in them as they set about His work in our disordered world. If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That means no new national production of highly enriched uranium from which a bomb could be made, and that's the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35950]]></link><description><![CDATA[That means no new national production of highly enriched uranium from which a bomb could be made, and that's the issue over Iran.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The three ages of man: youth, middle age, and "You're looking wonderful!" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1768]]></link><description><![CDATA[The three ages of man: youth, middle age, and "You're looking wonderful!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is purpose in pain, Otherwise it were devilish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45366]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is purpose in pain, Otherwise it were devilish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing you will take through those pearly gates is what youhave given away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22319]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing you will take through those pearly gates is what youhave given away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ad astra per aspera [To the stars through difficulties] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ad astra per aspera [To the stars through difficulties]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58113]]></link><description><![CDATA[To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58113</guid></item></channel></rss>
