It is rather to return to Christ not a figure of the imagination, but the Christ of the Scriptures and to listen to His voice in obedience, to discover afresh what is the Truth. All unpretentious Bible study, every effort to disseminate a true scriptural theology, and every earnest prayer is part of the task of promoting that unity which is truly Christian. We must not envisage Christian Unity as consisting of faroff and doubtful schemes, but as something very nigh which affects us all. If we are really to seek for Christian Unity, we must be prepared to pay the cost. For it must be based upon love, and love is always costly. It will never be attained until there is "far more humility, far more thought, far more self-sacrifice, and far more prayer, than there is at present." (Streeter) If we are right in the conclusion that such disunion as has been sinful in the history of the Church has been due to pride, selfassertion, and contempt for God's Word and commandment, then it follows that the way to the unity which God wills [is] through humility, love of the brethren, and obedience to the Divine Revelation. When Christians pray to be shown where they have been wrong, proud, complaisant, or censorious, and to be put right; when they meet for common counsel and study of the Word, in the spirit of obedience and prepared to subject their individual opinions to the guidance of the Spirit; where the strong are willing to foster and strengthen the weak; and where all are seeking the common good rather than their own sectional interests: then the pathway to unity will become plain, and God will grant His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I trust in Nature for the stable laws Of beauty and utility.

We are surrounded and penetrated by great spiritual forces of which we hardly know anything. Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lovers face to face, friends side by side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lovers face to face, friends side by side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16882]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will never find time for anything.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life.
