The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wicked mans gift hath a touch of his master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49085]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wicked mans gift hath a touch of his master.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890  One secret act of self-denial, one sacrifice of inclination to duty, is worth all the mere good thoughts, warm feelings, passionate prayers, in which idle people indulge themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is purpose in pain, Otherwise it were devilish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45366]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is purpose in pain, Otherwise it were devilish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was now a coward on instinct. -King Henry IV.

Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is inexplicable, it should not be explained if one doesn't want to kill it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is inexplicable, it should not be explained if one doesn't want to kill it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See he doesn't respect you.
