We can only rearrange the elements God has provided. No one can create a new primary color, a third sex, a fourth dimension, or a completely original animal. Even by writing a book, planting a garden, or begetting a child, we never create anything in the strict sense; we only take part in God's creation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a parent, I would appreciate any information about my child that I thought was going to be helpful to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38683]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a parent, I would appreciate any information about my child that I thought was going to be helpful to ensure my child was healthy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew we had to keep fighting because we knew they are a tough team and would keep fighting to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30534]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew we had to keep fighting because we knew they are a tough team and would keep fighting to come back hard.

Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We make allowance for necessity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48889]]></link><description><![CDATA[We make allowance for necessity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The government has a solid base.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of governing consists in not letting men grow old in their jobs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18063]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of governing consists in not letting men grow old in their jobs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mrs. Schmidt had a meeting with Mr. Tancredo about his support for her.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6880</guid></item></channel></rss>
