This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So 'ere the storm of war broke out, Religion spawn'd a various rout  Of petulant capricious sects,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53473]]></link><description><![CDATA[So 'ere the storm of war broke out, Religion spawn'd a various rout  Of petulant capricious sects,   That maggots of corrupted texts,    That first run all religion down,     And after every swarm its own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me love Thee so that the honour, riches, and pleasures of the world may seem unworthy even of hatred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me love Thee so that the honour, riches, and pleasures of the world may seem unworthy even of hatred -- may not even be encumbrances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a 'Life of Brian' comes out with Muhammad in the lead role, directed by an Arab equivalent of Theo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29766]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a 'Life of Brian' comes out with Muhammad in the lead role, directed by an Arab equivalent of Theo van Gogh, it will be a huge step forward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is poorer than a truth expressed as it was thought.

He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How awful to reflect that what people say of us is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54753]]></link><description><![CDATA[How awful to reflect that what people say of us is true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is born into the world whose work Is not born with him: there is always work,  And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62131]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is born into the world whose work Is not born with him: there is always work,  And tools to work withal, for those who will;   And blessed are the horny hand of toil!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10855]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29618]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have done the experiment.

To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it.
