It seems a truly terrible thing that this Sacred Appointment, which was surely meant to unite, in actual practice divides Christians more sharply than any other part of their worship. Christians of various denominations may, and frequently do, work together on social projects, they may study the Scripture together, and they may ... pray together. But the moment attendance at the Lord's Table is suggested, up go the denominational barriers... I would make a strong plea that we do not exclude from the Lord's Table in our Church those who are undoubtedly sincere Christians. I cannot believe that to communicate together with our Lord should be regarded as the consummation, the final pinnacle, of the whole vast work of Reunion. Suppose it is the means and not the end. We might feel far more sharply the sin of our divisions and of our exclusiveness if we came humbly together to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and in that reception we might find such a quickening of our common devotion to Him that the divisions between us might be found not nearly so insuperable as we supposed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I'd heard for two months in the trenches was the hissing, cracking and whining of bullets in flight, machine-gun ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28880]]></link><description><![CDATA[All I'd heard for two months in the trenches was the hissing, cracking and whining of bullets in flight, machine-gun fire and distant German voices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger cannot be dishonest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger cannot be dishonest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60068]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did refuse it:   And he that brought it would not use it,    And he that hath it doth now know     Whether he hath it yea or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To our real, naked selves there is not a thing on earth or in heaven worth dying for.

It is only when we see ourselves as actors in a staged (and therefore unreal) performance that death loses its frightfulness and finality and becomes an act of make-believe and a theatrical gesture. It is one of the main tasks of a real leader to mask the grim reality of dying and killing by evoking in his followers the illusion that they are participating in a grandiose spectacle, a solemn or lighthearted dramatic performance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our calling is not primarily to be holy women, but to work for God and for others with Him.

Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; as long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unix is computer-scientology, not computer science. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unix is computer-scientology, not computer science.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what nerves ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what nerves let you do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is not to give the other person peace.
