There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would prefer a total stock market fund if it's going to be their only investment, but if it's the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35355]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would prefer a total stock market fund if it's going to be their only investment, but if it's the first of many funds I'd go with the S&P 500 Index Fund.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of the Olympics, we decided the books had to have something to do with competition, teamwork and sportsmanship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because of the Olympics, we decided the books had to have something to do with competition, teamwork and sportsmanship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools admire, but men of sense approve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools admire, but men of sense approve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the best part about it.

The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be a spot on the ground where nothing is growing, where somethingmight be planted, a seed, from the Absolute. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be a spot on the ground where nothing is growing, where somethingmight be planted, a seed, from the Absolute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of us is a being in himself and a being in society, each of us needs to understand himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of us is a being in himself and a being in society, each of us needs to understand himself and understand others, take care of others and be taken care of himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the highest-ranking union officers in the state is given a half-million-dollar gift by a sitting U.S. senator.
