All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, While the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56600]]></link><description><![CDATA[And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, While the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its waves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only pressure I'm under is the pressure I've put on myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/991]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only pressure I'm under is the pressure I've put on myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A beau is one who arranges his curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balm, and cinnamon; who hums the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16423]]></link><description><![CDATA[A beau is one who arranges his curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balm, and cinnamon; who hums the songs of the Nile, and Cadiz; who throws his sleek arms into various attitudes; who idles away the whole day among the chair of the ladies, and is ever whispering into some one's ear; who reads little billets-doux from this quarter and that, and writes them in return; who avoids ruffling his dress by contact with his neighbour's sleeve, who knows with whom everybody is in love; who flutters from feast to feast, who can recount exactly the pedigree of Hirpinus.
