It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One foot in the grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18202]]></link><description><![CDATA[One foot in the grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A library is thought in cold storage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4584]]></link><description><![CDATA[A library is thought in cold storage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were a great rebounding team last year so teams are really making it a point to attack the boards ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35772]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were a great rebounding team last year so teams are really making it a point to attack the boards on us, ...

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My steps have pressed the flowers, That to the Muses' bowers  The eternal dews of Helicon have given:  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44054]]></link><description><![CDATA[My steps have pressed the flowers, That to the Muses' bowers  The eternal dews of Helicon have given:   And trod the mountain height,    Where Science, young and bright,     Scans with poetic gaze the midnight-heaven.      Yet have I found no power to vie       With thine, severe necessity!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  The widest thing in the universe is not space, it is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  The widest thing in the universe is not space, it is the potential capacity of the human heart.
