Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The amount of power freed by telling yourself you no longer choose toput energy into something can be remarkable.

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[Ridicule is the language of the devil ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ridicule is the language of the devil]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love without reason, and without reason we hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18816]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love without reason, and without reason we hate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus does the white swan, as he lies on the wet grass, when the Fates summon him, sing at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus does the white swan, as he lies on the wet grass, when the Fates summon him, sing at the fords of Maeander.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[said Adams.
