It remains the great problem of interpretation, hitherto never entirely solved, how to unite these two things: the keen attention to what Paul wanted to say to that community then, and the search for what God wants to say to us through Paul today. In the end, the question is whether the reader will really allow God to speak to him, or whether he evades God by hiding behind "Paul", behind "the past".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54073]]></link><description><![CDATA[An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There shall be no more snow No weary noontide heat,  So we lift our trusting eyes   From ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17089]]></link><description><![CDATA[There shall be no more snow No weary noontide heat,  So we lift our trusting eyes   From the hills our Fathers trod:    To the quiet of the skies:     To the Sabbath of our God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just suppose members of our churches were voted on, like the members of certain civic clubs.

Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Class, race, sexuality, gender and all other categories by which we categorize and dismiss each other need to be excavated from the inside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Broadly speaking, I learned to recognize sin as the refusal to live up to the enlightenment we possess: to know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Broadly speaking, I learned to recognize sin as the refusal to live up to the enlightenment we possess: to know the right order of values and deliberately to choose the lower ones: to know that, however much these values may differ with different people at different stages of spiritual growth, for one's self there must be no compromise with that which one knows to be the lower value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is an exploration.

You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can drive out nature with a pitchfork but she keeps on coming back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51050]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can drive out nature with a pitchfork but she keeps on coming back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This nation has dehumanized its adversariescalling them Huns, wops, gooks, Japs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/750]]></link><description><![CDATA[This nation has dehumanized its adversariescalling them Huns, wops, gooks, Japs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big challenge is inventory.
