We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another... What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities... still bears in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54846]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities... still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18889]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, goes for nothing; but, be sure of it, everything is life depends upon the cock of the hat.' For how many men--we put it to your own experience, reader--have made their way through the thronging crowds that beset fortune, not by the innate worth and excellence of their hats, but simply, as Sampson Piebald has it, by 'the cock of their hats'?

Has not redemption rather made us doubly debtors? We owe him more than ever: we owe his holy law more than ever; more honor, more obedience. Duty has been doubled, not canceled, by our being delivered from the law; and he who says that duty has ceased, because deliverance has come, knows nothing of duty, or law, or deliverance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is common to hear churchmen speak as though they did not really regard Christian unity as a serious question ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7058]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is common to hear churchmen speak as though they did not really regard Christian unity as a serious question this side of the End. This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm steering away from (heavy marketing of) Felix because of the pressure on him, and because his head may get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31917]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm steering away from (heavy marketing of) Felix because of the pressure on him, and because his head may get too big.
