There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which Gad gave Him to do.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much silence makes a powerful noise. -African proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much silence makes a powerful noise. -African proverb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mightier man, the mightier is the thing That makes him honored or begets him hate;  For greatest scandal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54751]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mightier man, the mightier is the thing That makes him honored or begets him hate;  For greatest scandal waits on greatest state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But it's looking like I'm just opening it up for (quarterback Tim Rattay), ... because I don't think he's going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29471]]></link><description><![CDATA[But it's looking like I'm just opening it up for (quarterback Tim Rattay), ... because I don't think he's going to pass it to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people who oppose your ideas are inevitably those who represent the established order that your ideas will upset. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21999]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people who oppose your ideas are inevitably those who represent the established order that your ideas will upset.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love opposition that has convictions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45146]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love opposition that has convictions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45146</guid></item></channel></rss>
