The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no defeat except for those who give up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11793]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no defeat except for those who give up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The church has magnificent buildings, superb equipment, trained leadership, excellent teaching materials, organizational ability, and yet lacks that one thing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6428]]></link><description><![CDATA[The church has magnificent buildings, superb equipment, trained leadership, excellent teaching materials, organizational ability, and yet lacks that one thing that could take all these tools and make them the channel of God's will.
