As one of the most daring expressed it, the old and hallowed covenant, made by God at the Exodus, would be superseded by a new and higher relation; God would write his law into the hearts of the people; the old drill in outward statutes would disappear, for all men would know God by an inward experience of forgiveness and love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although we have received many calls expressing concerns and anger about this incident, we have not received any calls which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although we have received many calls expressing concerns and anger about this incident, we have not received any calls which will allow us to assist in resolving this case.

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't graduate from any of them (Colleges) and look at me now mom! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30237]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't graduate from any of them (Colleges) and look at me now mom!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57715]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The landscape should belong to the people who see it all the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The landscape should belong to the people who see it all the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's not my area, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35074]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's not my area,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace be with you. [Vulgate Lat., Pax vobiscum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace be with you. [Vulgate Lat., Pax vobiscum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of them are starting at an even playing field.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking is the hardest work there is.
