The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60272]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Ride Cowboy,' Garth's tribute to Chris LeDoux, is the song we've chosen to be the first because it symbolizes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good Ride Cowboy,' Garth's tribute to Chris LeDoux, is the song we've chosen to be the first because it symbolizes the project, which is about love and honesty.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work hard.
