They are trying to save the Christians out of this labyrinth by reuniting the divided churches, by forming an alliance of churches, or by trying to form an ecumenical church. For all that, it seems very difficult to obtain the desired result, because all the present churches are still standing on the principles of the Reformation, unable to rid themselves of the sectarian spirit inherited from Catholicism. So the number of denominations and sects shows no sign of decreasing, and all efforts to unite the churches seem likely to end only in the formation of yet other sects and denominations. Yet the center of Christianity is neither institution nor organization. Nor is it even the Bible itself, as the Reformers made it, for the Eklesia existed before the formation of the New Testament canon. Christians were in fellowship with God and one another, centering their faith in Christ, long before there was any accepted New Testament. There is only one center of Christianity -- spiritual fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a small, limited experience, but it has enough follow-up to show us that tissue engineering is a viable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29517]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a small, limited experience, but it has enough follow-up to show us that tissue engineering is a viable tool that will allow us to tackle problems of similar magnitude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn't want to be tracked.

It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65359]]></link><description><![CDATA[No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to take a lot of pushing and shoving in the U.S. and Europe to get the concessions from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38833]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's going to take a lot of pushing and shoving in the U.S. and Europe to get the concessions from rich countries that will keep poor countries involved in the negotiations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687   It seems clear that those people who personally are completely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687   It seems clear that those people who personally are completely convinced of justification by grace alone, and who heartily grant to people of another color the right to the same justification (as long as they remain in their own churches, schools, ghettos, handyman occupations), give an ugly expression to the Augustinian and Reformation understanding of justification. By their emphasis upon the primacy of individual justification, they deny the immediate social character and impact of the justification of the Jews and Gentiles, and they obstruct or delay the changes in common life which belong to the "new creation".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speculation about an end to interest rate rises is strengthening more than ever.
