It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You accept certain unlovely things about yourself and manage to live with them.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our posters got pulled down too, so we decided the best way was with TV, radios and newspapers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our posters got pulled down too, so we decided the best way was with TV, radios and newspapers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59215]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977   Where would you be if God took away all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977   Where would you be if God took away all your Christian work?

It was "sin brought death into the world and all our woe"; as the sin vanishes the woe will vanish too. God Himself is the ever-blessed God. He dwells in the light of joy as well as of purity, and instead of becoming more like Him as we become more miserable, and as all the brightness and glory of life are extinguished, we become more like God as our blessedness becomes more complete. The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have a young girl, the owner's daughter, doing what family wants her to do, and an immigrant trying to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29720]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have a young girl, the owner's daughter, doing what family wants her to do, and an immigrant trying to save up to bring the rest of his family over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider well the proportion of things.

It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Free throws, free throws.
