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[Now the summer's in prime Wi' the flowers richly blooming,  And the wild mountain thyme   A' the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the summer's in prime Wi' the flowers richly blooming,  And the wild mountain thyme   A' the moorlands perfuming.    To own dear native scenes     Let us journey together,      Where glad innocence reigns       'Mang the braes o' Balquhither.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66708]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sky full of silent suns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56519]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sky full of silent suns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not she with trait'rous kiss her Saviour stung, Not she denied Him with unholy tongue;  She, while apostles shrank, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not she with trait'rous kiss her Saviour stung, Not she denied Him with unholy tongue;  She, while apostles shrank, could danger brave,   Last at His cross, and earliest at His grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893  A large acquaintance with clerical life has led me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893  A large acquaintance with clerical life has led me to think that almost any company of clergymen gathering together and talking freely to one another will express opinions which would greatly surprise and at the same time relieve the congregations who ordinarily listen to these ministers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth is not in making money, but in making the man while he ismaking money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wealth is not in making money, but in making the man while he ismaking money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the way the market works, but this is an unusual year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30661]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the way the market works, but this is an unusual year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

There is a total difference between surviving sin and reigning sin, the regenerate in conflict with sin and the unregenerate complacent to sin. It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin. It is of paramount concern for the Christian and for the interests of his sanctification that he should know that sin does not have the dominion over him, that the forces of redeeming, regenerative, and sanctifying grace have been brought to bear upon him in that which is central in his moral and spiritual being, that he is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and that Christ has been formed in him the hope of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher.

Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. It had already struck root in Rome within little more than twenty years after the Crucifixion, and it had become really strong in the great city about thirty years after the Apostles began to look round and out from Jerusalem. This marvelous development was possible only because the seed of the new thought floated free on the main currents of communication, which were ever sweeping back and forward between the heart of the Empire and its outlying members. Paul, who mainly directed the great movement, threw himself boldly and confidently into the life of the time; he took the Empire as it was, accepted its political conformation and arrangement, and sought only to touch the spiritual and moral life of the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father.
