There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Houses are built to live in, not to look on; therefore, let use be preferred before uniformity, except where both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Houses are built to live in, not to look on; therefore, let use be preferred before uniformity, except where both may be had.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66426]]></link><description><![CDATA[By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That proves you are unusual, returned the Scarecrow; and I am convinced the only people worthy of consideration in this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27943]]></link><description><![CDATA[That proves you are unusual, returned the Scarecrow; and I am convinced the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones.

All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17).

Jesus is more than a religious genius, such as George Fox, and more than a holy man, such as the lovable Lana in Kipling's Kim. He himself knows that he is more. The Gospel story is a tree rooted in the familiar soil of time and sense; but its roots go down into the Abyss and its branches fill the Heavens; given to us in terms of a country in the Eastern Mediterranean no bigger than Wales, during the Roman Principate of Tiberius Caesar in the first century of our era, its range is universal; it is on the scale of eternity. God's presence and his very Self were made manifest in the words and works of this Man. In short, the Man Christ Jesus has the decisive place in man's ageless relationship with God. He is what God means by 'Man'. He is what man means by 'God'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity hath no law.
