It involves the conceptions of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another must place the truth of the case in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone.

Further, each local church is a church only in so far as it is the expression, in a particular place, of this new race that has come into the world through Christ Jesus. It is the mighty acts of God in Him that are the guarantee of our fellowship in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In argument similes are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63916]]></link><description><![CDATA[In argument similes are like songs in love; they describe much, but prove nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. -Ziggy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46083]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. -Ziggy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The solitary Bee Whose buzzing was the only sound of life,  Flew there on restless wing,   Seeking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3912]]></link><description><![CDATA[The solitary Bee Whose buzzing was the only sound of life,  Flew there on restless wing,   Seeking in vain one blossom where to fix.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These people have served a longer sentence than some people who have committed murder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47266]]></link><description><![CDATA[These people have served a longer sentence than some people who have committed murder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing that I think we've done this season is to show navy and gray in a very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39126]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important thing that I think we've done this season is to show navy and gray in a very new way.

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[Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To begin with, our perception of the world is deformed, incomplete.
