The barriers are ancient -- perhaps rooted, as some paleontologist may soon discover, in the contrast between the occasional guttural utterances exchanged in male hunting bands and the extended discussions characteristic of female food-gathering groups.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People constantly speak of "the government" doing this or that, as they might speak of God doing it.

How do we distinguish real Truth from human notions and ideas and opinions and doctrines? We are compelled to say that the word "true" means "grounded in reality, based on the real nature of things, on the basic facts which underlie the universe." Hence, if people say -- as many have said -- that the moral ideals set out in the gospels are high and noble ideals, and express admiration for the moral character of Jesus, and stop there, not daring to affirm more than that, the answer they are giving to the Question, "Is the Gospel true?", is No.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not human beings on a spiritual journey.

The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ... Middle English Sermons  September 6, 2001 Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   Of the access for us, at any rate, to the spirit of life -- us who were born in Christendom, and are in touch, conscious or unconscious, with Christianity -- this is the true account. Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are examining what alternative documents we could use for people in those border areas to go back and forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37282]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are examining what alternative documents we could use for people in those border areas to go back and forth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The self-sins... dwell too deep within us and are too much a part of our natures to come to our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7265]]></link><description><![CDATA[The self-sins... dwell too deep within us and are too much a part of our natures to come to our attention till the light of God is focused upon them. The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despite the ethnic diversity within each nation, the social fabric of the region by and large is one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despite the ethnic diversity within each nation, the social fabric of the region by and large is one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd like to dispel the myth that when you put a wedding ring on a woman, her brain stops. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61500]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd like to dispel the myth that when you put a wedding ring on a woman, her brain stops.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That no obedience but a perfect one will satisfy God, I hold with all my heart and strength; but that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8113]]></link><description><![CDATA[That no obedience but a perfect one will satisfy God, I hold with all my heart and strength; but that there is none else that He cares for, is one of the lies of the enemy.
