They are trying to save the Christians out of this labyrinth by reuniting the divided churches, by forming an alliance of churches, or by trying to form an ecumenical church. For all that, it seems very difficult to obtain the desired result, because all the present churches are still standing on the principles of the Reformation, unable to rid themselves of the sectarian spirit inherited from Catholicism. So the number of denominations and sects shows no sign of decreasing, and all efforts to unite the churches seem likely to end only in the formation of yet other sects and denominations. Yet the center of Christianity is neither institution nor organization. Nor is it even the Bible itself, as the Reformers made it, for the Eklesia existed before the formation of the New Testament canon. Christians were in fellowship with God and one another, centering their faith in Christ, long before there was any accepted New Testament. There is only one center of Christianity -- spiritual fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nine out of ten people who change their minds are wrong the second time too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nine out of ten people who change their minds are wrong the second time too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For two days, George (Karl) has been constantly stressing that this is a team that we'll be playing against.

Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse- power of the understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse- power of the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46917]]></link><description><![CDATA[In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The significance of that is that it allows us to bridge the gap between the rainy seasons.
