He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feelings are not supposed to be logical.

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[broad-based, with nearly every consumer and commercial business line achieving double-digit profit growth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36614]]></link><description><![CDATA[broad-based, with nearly every consumer and commercial business line achieving double-digit profit growth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No choice amongst stinking fish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51015]]></link><description><![CDATA[No choice amongst stinking fish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't get any offense going.

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my 26 years I haven't run into a baby who was rolled over on in bed, or who suffocated ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33572]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my 26 years I haven't run into a baby who was rolled over on in bed, or who suffocated next to mom.
