Too often, alas, conversion has been the end as well as the beginning, with the result that some Christians have looked back, with mingled delight and wistfulness to a past event that now seems to have diminished relevance to daily living. We can fully understand, then, the appeal of a movement which promises a new dimension of Christian living, there in the New Testament, and now available in everyday experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60107]]></link><description><![CDATA[As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let love flow so that it cleanses the world.
