It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a pang in all rejoicing, And a joy in the heart of pain;  And the wind that saddens, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45373]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a pang in all rejoicing, And a joy in the heart of pain;  And the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdens,   Are singing the selfsame strain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285  In the last analysis, the service the Christian does is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285  In the last analysis, the service the Christian does is not his, but Christ's. Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58711]]></link><description><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many children, many cares; no children, no felicity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6024]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many children, many cares; no children, no felicity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54758]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any one of us to talk about the rest of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the state-controlled manufacture of echoes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the state-controlled manufacture of echoes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune favors the brave. [Lat., Fortes fortuna adjuvat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune favors the brave. [Lat., Fortes fortuna adjuvat.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt.
