In the confusion of spiritual phenomena, ... it was possible that evil spirits, as well as the Holy Spirit, inspired some of the manifestations. One in particular Paul singles out as being in obvious contradiction to the work of the Spirit of God: "No man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema (cursed)". On the other hand, "No man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit" (I Cor. 12:3). It is difficult to conceive the state of mind of a member of a Christian congregation who would curse the name of Jesus. Yet it is evident that at Corinth, people gave way to such uncontrollable frenzy that, either in folly or in momentary reversion to Judaism or heathenism, they cursed the name in whose honour they had met... But the spirit that inspired disloyalty to Jesus Christ could not be the Holy Spirit, for in Paul's experience and theology, the two beings were, if not identical, at least in perfect harmony of principle and action. This, then, was Paul's first criterion for deciding which spiritual phenomena could be approved by Christians as the work of the Holy Spirit. They must be loyal to Jesus Christ as Lord of life, and as the object of faith and love for every believer.

The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Impossibilities are merely things of which we have not learned, or which we do not wish to happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20654]]></link><description><![CDATA[Impossibilities are merely things of which we have not learned, or which we do not wish to happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe investors are justifiably growing increasingly concerned that production disruptions due to labor disputes are increasingly probable as there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39183]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe investors are justifiably growing increasingly concerned that production disruptions due to labor disputes are increasingly probable as there are currently two suppliers in bankruptcy with another more than likely headed in that direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61487]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These faces in the mirrors Are but the shadows and phantoms of myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14862]]></link><description><![CDATA[These faces in the mirrors Are but the shadows and phantoms of myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an incredible serve.
