But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We can all call to mind movements which have begun as pure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We can all call to mind movements which have begun as pure upsurges of fresh spiritual vitality, breaking through and revolting against the hardened structure of the older body, and claiming, in the name of the Spirit, liberty from outward forms and institutions. 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.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basic Pilot right now doesn't work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basic Pilot right now doesn't work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Afflicted, or distressed, in mind, body, or estate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Afflicted, or distressed, in mind, body, or estate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the cradle to the coffin underwear comes first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2847]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the cradle to the coffin underwear comes first.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had a pleasant time here, but I don't think we can survive here much longer like this, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29902]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had a pleasant time here, but I don't think we can survive here much longer like this,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember Lot's wife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember Lot's wife.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are planning on doing business with someone again, don't be too tough in the negotiations.

Nothing else will meet my case. There is something genuinely at stake in every man's life, the climax whereof is death. Dying is inevitable, but arriving at the destination God offers to me is not inevitable. It is not impossible to go out of the way and fail to arrive. Christian doctrine has always urged that life eternal is something which may conceivably be missed. It is possible to neglect this great salvation and to lose it eternally, even though no man may say that anything is impossible with God or that his grace may ultimately be defeated. I know it is no longer fashionable to talk about Hell, one good reason for this being that to make religion into a prudential insurance policy is to degrade it. The Faith is not a fire-escape.
