The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.

He is the beginning, middle, and end of everything to us... There is nothing good, nothing holy, nothing beautiful, nothing joyous, which He is not to His servants. No one need be poor, because, if he chooses, he can have Jesus for his own property and possession. No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven, and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts. We can exaggerate about many things; but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus., or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that night be said of Him. Eternity will not be long enough to learn all He is, or to praise Him for all He has done -- but then, that matters not; for we shall be always with Him, and we desire nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laugh, if thou art wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laugh, if thou art wise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Setting themselves against reason, as often as reason is against them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Setting themselves against reason, as often as reason is against them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And you, enchantment, Worthy enough a herdsman--yea, him too,  That makes himself, but for our honor therein,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10797]]></link><description><![CDATA[And you, enchantment, Worthy enough a herdsman--yea, him too,  That makes himself, but for our honor therein,   Unworthy thee-if ever henceforth thou    These rural latches to his entrance open,     Or hoop his body more with thy embraces,      I will devise a death as cruel for thee       As thou art tender to't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like warmed-up cabbage served at each repast, The repetition kills the wretch at last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like warmed-up cabbage served at each repast, The repetition kills the wretch at last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She rears her young on yonder tree; She leaves her faithful mate to mind 'em;  Like us, for fish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18899]]></link><description><![CDATA[She rears her young on yonder tree; She leaves her faithful mate to mind 'em;  Like us, for fish she sails to sea,   And, plunging, shows us where to find 'em.    Yo, ho, my hearts! let's seek the deep,     Ply every oar, and cheerly with her,      While slow the bending net we sweep,       God bless the fish-hawk and the fisher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43859]]></link><description><![CDATA[A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43859</guid></item></channel></rss>
