Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Longing not so much to change things as to overturn them. [Lat., Non tam commutandarum, quam evertendarum rerum cupidi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Longing not so much to change things as to overturn them. [Lat., Non tam commutandarum, quam evertendarum rerum cupidi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46800]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63759]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are right at a major turning point in fashion, ... definitely something to watch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36159]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are right at a major turning point in fashion, ... definitely something to watch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can kill a man but you can't kill an idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11283]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can kill a man but you can't kill an idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is still a very new area will that continue to grow.

What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have reason to believe that man first walked upright to free his hands for masturbation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4077]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have reason to believe that man first walked upright to free his hands for masturbation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was nervous because any time you start a new program and you're new yourself into being a head coach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33161]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was nervous because any time you start a new program and you're new yourself into being a head coach - I was always an assistant - you always get those jitters, ...
