They are trying to save the Christians out of this labyrinth by reuniting the divided churches, by forming an alliance of churches, or by trying to form an ecumenical church. For all that, it seems very difficult to obtain the desired result, because all the present churches are still standing on the principles of the Reformation, unable to rid themselves of the sectarian spirit inherited from Catholicism. So the number of denominations and sects shows no sign of decreasing, and all efforts to unite the churches seem likely to end only in the formation of yet other sects and denominations. Yet the center of Christianity is neither institution nor organization. Nor is it even the Bible itself, as the Reformers made it, for the Eklesia existed before the formation of the New Testament canon. Christians were in fellowship with God and one another, centering their faith in Christ, long before there was any accepted New Testament. There is only one center of Christianity -- spiritual fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O wild and wondrous midnight, There is a might in thee  To make the charmed body   Almost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27454]]></link><description><![CDATA[O wild and wondrous midnight, There is a might in thee  To make the charmed body   Almost like spirit be,    And give it some faint glimpses     Of immortality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12228]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12228</guid></item></channel></rss>
