Not necessarily that he must feel affection for them -- that is not always possible in this life, though it will be in heaven -- but that he must treat them as love dictates, doing always for others what he would that they should do for him.  ... A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  Recently, some Christians have recognized the existing state of the church as sinful, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  Recently, some Christians have recognized the existing state of the church as sinful, or, at least, as faulty and mistaken. They are trying to save the Christians out of this labyrinth by reuniting the divided churches, by forming an alliance of churches, or by trying to form an ecumenical church. For all that, it seems very difficult to obtain the desired result, because all the present churches are still standing on the principles of the Reformation, unable to rid themselves of the sectarian spirit inherited from Catholicism. So the number of denominations and sects shows no sign of decreasing, and all efforts to unite the churches seem likely to end only in the formation of yet other sects and denominations. Yet the center of Christianity is neither institution nor organization. Nor is it even the Bible itself, as the Reformers made it, for the Eklesia existed before the formation of the New Testament canon. Christians were in fellowship with God and one another, centering their faith in Christ, long before there was any accepted New Testament. There is only one center of Christianity -- spiritual fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm just a hoofer with a spare set of tails ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35158]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm just a hoofer with a spare set of tails]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Popularity is exhausting.
