The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, what, what, What's the news from Sway?  Sad news,   Bad news,    Comes by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44459]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, what, what, What's the news from Sway?  Sad news,   Bad news,    Comes by the cable; led     Through the Indian Ocean's bed,      Through the Persian Gulf, the Red       Sea, and the Med-]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pigmies placed on the shoulders of giants see more than the giants themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pigmies placed on the shoulders of giants see more than the giants themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He went like one that hath been stunn'd, And is of sense forlorn:  A sadder and a wiser man, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42799]]></link><description><![CDATA[He went like one that hath been stunn'd, And is of sense forlorn:  A sadder and a wiser man,   He rose the morrow morn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny is not a matter of chance; but a matter of choice.

Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of.

It frequently appears to the non-Christian mind that this is an immoral or at least unmoral doctrine. Paul appears to be saying that a man is justified before God, not by his goodness or badness, not by his good deeds or bad deeds, but by believing in a certain doctrine of Atonement. Of course, when we come to examine the matter more closely, we can see that there is nothing unmoral in this teaching at all. For if "faith" means using a God-given faculty to apprehend the unseen divine order, and means, moreover, involving oneself in that order by personal commitment, we can at once see how different that is from merely accepting a certain view of Christian redemption... That which man in every religion, every century, every country, was powerless to affect, God has achieved by the devastating humility of His action and suffering in Jesus Christ. Now, accepting such an action as a fait accompli is only possible by this perceptive faculty of "faith". It requires not merely intellectual assent but a shifting of personal trust from the achievements of the self to the completely undeserved action of God. To accept this teaching by mind and heart does, indeed, require a metanoia ["transformation"], a revolution in the outlook of both heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money doesn't sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money doesn't sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither company has a strong interest in seeing this resolved in the court. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither company has a strong interest in seeing this resolved in the court.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year (Carpenter) learned to pitch with no pain.
