They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46820]]></link><description><![CDATA[With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a natural extension of location services we've seen serving the business market to track workers and employees.

There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because a dress is red satin doesn't mean it will come off easily. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because a dress is red satin doesn't mean it will come off easily.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old Physitian, and a young Lawyer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49130]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old Physitian, and a young Lawyer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The communities' response to our newsletter has been phenomenal.

David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64281]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  We can reach the point where it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  We can reach the point where it becomes possible for us to recognize and understand Original Sin, that dark counter-centre of evil in our nature -- that is to say, though it is not our nature, it is of it -- that something within us which rejoices when disaster befalls the very cause we are trying to serve, or misfortune overtakes even those we love. Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've said many a time that I think the Un-American Activities Committee in the House of Representatives was the most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9765]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've said many a time that I think the Un-American Activities Committee in the House of Representatives was the most un-American thing in America!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words pay no debts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words pay no debts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57475]]></link><description><![CDATA[What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abuse a man unjustly, and you will make friends for him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abuse a man unjustly, and you will make friends for him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something.
