The world wants to see redemption: it is not interested in being talked to about it. A church which is not outward looking... has ceased to be a church as the Body of Christ and has instead become a club for the benefit of its members.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Please, sir, is this Plumfield?" asked a ragged boy of the man who opened the great gate at which the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4632]]></link><description><![CDATA["Please, sir, is this Plumfield?" asked a ragged boy of the man who opened the great gate at which the omnibus left him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed, when that little wisdom is its own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1029]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed, when that little wisdom is its own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, whatever, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, whatever,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25825]]></link><description><![CDATA[First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not an environmentalist.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense.

It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is more about reunification and repairing.
