All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17). (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not all who wander are lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not all who wander are lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46405]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5195]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the psychological point of view, the self-asserting emotions, derived from emergency reactions, involve a narrowing of consciousness; the participatory ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52007]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the psychological point of view, the self-asserting emotions, derived from emergency reactions, involve a narrowing of consciousness; the participatory emotions an expansion of consciousness by identificatory processes of various kinds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sublime and ridiculous are often so nearly related that it is difficult to class them separately.

They have nothing to say as from themselves. Their narratives place us without preface, and keep us without comment, among external scenes, in full view of facts, and in contact with the living person whom they teach us to know... Who can fail to recognize a divine provision for placing the disciples of all future ages as nearly as possible in the position of those who had been personally present at "the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God"?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10555]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Creeds... were formulated gradually, as a result of a series of desperate controversies -- which are now named, sometimes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6958]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Creeds... were formulated gradually, as a result of a series of desperate controversies -- which are now named, sometimes after the supposed leaders and representatives of a particular interpretation of the Christian religion, and sometimes after the particular interpretation itself. I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them, the revelation of God to men was made -- or appeared to be made -- less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beggarly last doit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beggarly last doit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Medicine for the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Medicine for the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265]]></link><description><![CDATA[By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65096]]></link><description><![CDATA[As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who paies the Physitian, does the cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who paies the Physitian, does the cure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Watch out for emergencies.
