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[I recover my property wherever I find it. [Fr., Je reprends mon bien ou je le trouve.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46646]]></link><description><![CDATA[I recover my property wherever I find it. [Fr., Je reprends mon bien ou je le trouve.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act even when it has worked.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trying to get the attention of the audience in the opposite way it's done in Hollywood today, which is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trying to get the attention of the audience in the opposite way it's done in Hollywood today, which is to bombard the audience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have become tools of their tools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have become tools of their tools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is reading, but silent conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4576]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is reading, but silent conversation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17454]]></link><description><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands.

Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what is more melancholy than the old apple-trees that linger about the spot where once stood a homestead, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2944]]></link><description><![CDATA[And what is more melancholy than the old apple-trees that linger about the spot where once stood a homestead, but where there is now only a ruined chimney rising our of a grassy and weed-grown cellar?
