Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a clever animal who behaves like an imbecile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't tell you overall how we stand.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheerfulness is health; its opposite, melancholy, is disease ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerfulness is health; its opposite, melancholy, is disease]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27988]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18977]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64492]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best smell in the world is that man that you love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5396]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best smell in the world is that man that you love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us.

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We plan to selectively open stores each year in important markets in Asia, Europe and Latin America. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41666]]></link><description><![CDATA[We plan to selectively open stores each year in important markets in Asia, Europe and Latin America.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quietly pacifist peaceful always die to make room for men who shout ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45360]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quietly pacifist peaceful always die to make room for men who shout]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He will give the devil his due. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12168]]></link><description><![CDATA[He will give the devil his due.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great tragedy of science -- the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9324]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great tragedy of science -- the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not going to be easy, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32980]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not going to be easy,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The U.S. case is more important because of the economic implications, ...

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that's liberal To all alike, may do a good by chance,  But never out of judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24661]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that's liberal To all alike, may do a good by chance,  But never out of judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have at least four to five different potato dishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38155]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have at least four to five different potato dishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13160]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So obliging that he ne'er obliged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50940]]></link><description><![CDATA[So obliging that he ne'er obliged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50940</guid></item></channel></rss>
