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[Even the gods love jokes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the gods love jokes]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more serious the illness, the more important it is for you to fight back, mobilizing all your resources-spiritual, emotional, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20449]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more serious the illness, the more important it is for you to fight back, mobilizing all your resources-spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet still he fills affection's eye, Obscurely wise, and coarsely kind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet still he fills affection's eye, Obscurely wise, and coarsely kind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66012]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66012</guid></item></channel></rss>
