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.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Animals are human just like us in a different shape and form so do not abuse them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Animals are human just like us in a different shape and form so do not abuse them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63265]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15175]]></link><description><![CDATA[The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I saw they had 28 yards rushing in the first half, I said, 'We're back,' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38378]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I saw they had 28 yards rushing in the first half, I said, 'We're back,']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I should have cut back and gotten into the end zone.
