You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now they have come to the place where their faith can no longer feed on the bread of repression and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now they have come to the place where their faith can no longer feed on the bread of repression and violence.

One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17950]]></link><description><![CDATA[My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like I'm giving a little something back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31422]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like I'm giving a little something back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent. -Twelfth Night.
