Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All your renown is like the summer flower that blooms and dies; because the sunny glow which brings it forth, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15107]]></link><description><![CDATA[All your renown is like the summer flower that blooms and dies; because the sunny glow which brings it forth, soon slays with parching power. [It., La vostra nominanza e color d'erba,  Che viene e va; e quei la discolora   Per cui ell' esce della terra acerba.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once he saw a youth blushing, and addressed him, "Courage, my boy; that is the complexion of virtue." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once he saw a youth blushing, and addressed him, "Courage, my boy; that is the complexion of virtue."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love has nothing to do with competency in electronics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love has nothing to do with competency in electronics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of these foregoing states has its time, its variety of workings, its trials, temptations, and purifications, which can only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of these foregoing states has its time, its variety of workings, its trials, temptations, and purifications, which can only be known by experience in the passage through them. The one only and infallible way to go safely through all the difficulties, trials, temptations, dryness, or opposition of our own evil tempers is this: It is to expect nothing from ourselves, to trust to nothing in ourselves, but in everything to expect and depend upon God for relief. Keep fast hold of this thread, and then let your way be what it will -- darkness, temptation, or the rebellion of nature -- you will be led through it all, to an union with God: for nothing hurts us in any state but an expectation of some thing in it and from it, which we should only expect from God.
