What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52832]]></link><description><![CDATA[In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet meat must have sour sauce. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet meat must have sour sauce.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Away with the cant of "Measures not men!"--the idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46945]]></link><description><![CDATA[Away with the cant of "Measures not men!"--the idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along.

What a comfort it is to know the Man in charge of it all. Without Him, it would be easy to think that the whole of time and space, and life itself, are without reason, purpose, or meaning -- as H. G. Wells said, that it is "a bad joke beyond our unterstanding, a flare of vulgarity, an empty laugh braying across the mysteries." With Jesus forever between God and us, we can understand a few things, and trust Him for the rest. After all, He is one of us: a baby once, as we all were; then, and forever after, a Man, as we all shall always be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11883]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11883</guid></item></channel></rss>
