The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To create an improved new habitat in a remote area where the prairie dog can thrive without any human interference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38594]]></link><description><![CDATA[To create an improved new habitat in a remote area where the prairie dog can thrive without any human interference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists tend to resist interdisciplinary inquiries into their own territory.

The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over the years, I've had hundreds of shots blocked.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cloath thee in war, arme thee in peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cloath thee in war, arme thee in peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had my way I'd make health catching instead of disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12509]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I had my way I'd make health catching instead of disease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some men see things as they are and ask, 'why?'
