To me, at least, this is a thoroughly unsound argument, for Christ did not come into the world to bring men "specialized activity," but life, fuller and more satisfying than it had been ever before. If the churches have made Christianity appear to be some kind of specialized spiritual performance so much the worse for them. The real purpose of Christ, the real relevance of the Gospel, is surely to enable men to live together as sons of God. Human beings, like children, love to have secrets, love to be "in the know." But the Christian religion was never meant to be a secret recipe for living, held by a few. It is Good News for all mankind and, because it is that, the more clearly and intelligibly it can be presented, the more faithfully it is following its Master's purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is merit without elevation, but there is no elevation without some merit. [Fr., Il y a du merite sans ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27388]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is merit without elevation, but there is no elevation without some merit. [Fr., Il y a du merite sans elevation mais il n'y a point d'elevation sans quelque merite.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great man is the man who can get himself made and who will get himself made out of anything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18265]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great man is the man who can get himself made and who will get himself made out of anything he finds at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being a fulltime mother is one of the highest salaried jobs since the payment is pure Love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being a fulltime mother is one of the highest salaried jobs since the payment is pure Love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3605]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15001]]></link><description><![CDATA[As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17729]]></link><description><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18573]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm proud of paying taxes.
