Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They struck her working tools, her legs, her arms, her hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31806]]></link><description><![CDATA[They struck her working tools, her legs, her arms, her hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18325]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The industry is awash in federal drilling permits.

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[China has declared its commitment to human rights and has raised expectations for the country to match its growing prosperity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41091]]></link><description><![CDATA[China has declared its commitment to human rights and has raised expectations for the country to match its growing prosperity with a firm commitment to advancing human rights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like one Who having into truth, by telling of it, Made such a sinner of his memory, To credit his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like one Who having into truth, by telling of it, Made such a sinner of his memory, To credit his own lie. -The Tempest.

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running is a thing worth doing not because of the future rewards it bestows, but because of how it feeds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Running is a thing worth doing not because of the future rewards it bestows, but because of how it feeds our bodies and minds and souls in the present.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future.
