The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Palestinian intellectual friend tells me that he mightbe willing to admit that God in Hebrew said Jews couldhave Israel. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43701]]></link><description><![CDATA[My Palestinian intellectual friend tells me that he mightbe willing to admit that God in Hebrew said Jews couldhave Israel.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65638]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are times in which a genius would wish to live.
