St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one of those things that is a nightmare.

Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19702]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be; all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man succeeds without a good woman behind him.

The Christian's faith in Christ is trust in a Living Person, once crucified, dead, and buried, and now living forevermore.
