All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain.

When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So soon as a fashion is universal, it is out of date. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63893]]></link><description><![CDATA[So soon as a fashion is universal, it is out of date.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22615</guid></item></channel></rss>
