The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sly old fish, too cunning for the hook. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16067]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sly old fish, too cunning for the hook.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once I guessed right, And I got credit by't;  Thrice I guessed wrong,   And I kept my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once I guessed right, And I got credit by't;  Thrice I guessed wrong,   And I kept my credit on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65643]]></link><description><![CDATA[We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970  Two movements merge in the real act of communion.

But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An intellectual is someone who has found something more interesting than sex. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65905]]></link><description><![CDATA[An intellectual is someone who has found something more interesting than sex.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19335]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65618]]></link><description><![CDATA[I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children about the dubious glories of professional sports.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought it was the most exciting thing I had ever heard in my lifetime.
