His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not expect good from another's death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not expect good from another's death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obsessions are repetitive thoughts which resemble worry and are accompanied by anxiety.

Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out to be universal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who so regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind. •Ecclesiasticus 34:2 ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who so regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind. •Ecclesiasticus 34:2]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We haven't turned down this proposal.

Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".
