He is both Father and Son bound together in one Spirit. We are created to be brothers under God, the Father. The human family is our best illustration of how each person grows in his unique potentialities by sharing in the loving care of a society of other persons. Yet each member of the family discovers what it is to give of himself for the sake of the others. The human family is only an analogy both for our thought about God and about society; but no Christian thought gets very far away from it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always during a passing state of mind that we make lasting resolutions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53953]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always during a passing state of mind that we make lasting resolutions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's always pretty obvious to most of the public when something was done with heart and mind.

"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joys Are bubble-like--what makes them bursts them too.   - Philip James Bailey, Festus ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joys Are bubble-like--what makes them bursts them too.   - Philip James Bailey, Festus]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Folly is wont to have more followers and comrades than discretion. [Sp., Mas acompanados y paniguados debe di tener la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Folly is wont to have more followers and comrades than discretion. [Sp., Mas acompanados y paniguados debe di tener la locura que la discrecion.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In his younger days a man dreams of possessing the heart of the woman whom he loves; later, the feeling ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62550]]></link><description><![CDATA[In his younger days a man dreams of possessing the heart of the woman whom he loves; later, the feeling that he possesses the heart of a woman may be enough to make him fall in love with her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the ultimate end of man, to find the One which is in him; which is his truth, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26320]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the ultimate end of man, to find the One which is in him; which is his truth, which is his soul; the key with which he opens the gate of the spiritual life, the heavenly kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9607]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Witches] steal young children out of their cradles, ministerio doemonum, and put deformed in their rooms, which we call changelings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5898]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Witches] steal young children out of their cradles, ministerio doemonum, and put deformed in their rooms, which we call changelings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, Spiritual Writer, 1626 Commemoration of Sergius of Radonezh, Russian Monastic Reformer, Teacher, 1392 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, Spiritual Writer, 1626 Commemoration of Sergius of Radonezh, Russian Monastic Reformer, Teacher, 1392  The one great fear which is a holy fear is, I think, lest you make your adventure too small, too easy, too self-full, too mediocre. Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I ought to consider the business which occurs in the daily order of Providence as the work which God appoints ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7537]]></link><description><![CDATA[I ought to consider the business which occurs in the daily order of Providence as the work which God appoints me; and I should apply myself to it in a manner worthy of God, namely, with exactness and with tranquility. I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The president has the power to pick up a pen and require car companies to raise fuel-efficiency standards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29404]]></link><description><![CDATA[The president has the power to pick up a pen and require car companies to raise fuel-efficiency standards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he [Archie Bunker] is in every man my age, no matter what he does, whether he's a vice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48333]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think he [Archie Bunker] is in every man my age, no matter what he does, whether he's a vice president at Chase or a cab driver.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48333</guid></item></channel></rss>
