And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think one way the cops could make money would be to hold a murder weapons sale.
