The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.

Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties.
