The question was whether they could be admitted without accepting the teaching and undergoing the rite. It was that question which was settled by the acknowledgement that they had received the Holy Spirit... The difficulty today is that Christians acknowledge that others have the Spirit, and yet do not recognize that they ought to be, and must be -- because spiritually they are -- in communion with one another. Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21508]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a pilgrimage.

Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scarcely two hundred years back can Fame recollect articulately at all; and there she but maunders and mumbles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scarcely two hundred years back can Fame recollect articulately at all; and there she but maunders and mumbles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10577]]></link><description><![CDATA[An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't know what was happening.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27550]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness:  So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another,   Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.   - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cessation of work is not accompanied by cessation of expenses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cessation of work is not accompanied by cessation of expenses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12916]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12916</guid></item></channel></rss>
