No one can well believe that our piety is sincere, when our behavior is lax and irregular in its little details.

When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance.

It was there that he received the first public witness of his Messianic role and found his first followers. The gospel was to be rooted in John's teaching of asceticism and regeneration. But we see from the start that the gospel of Jesus was to be quite different. To the baptism of water would be added the baptism of the Spirit, and the new message was to be addressed to all. The widening of the circle of hearers and converts, which had preoccupied John, was to expand still further with the gospel of Jesus. Of the hundreds of thousands of Jews, the Essenes only regarded as saved a few thousand elect. Jesus was soon to offer the Covenant of God to all men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free.

Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16901]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own. •Charlotte Bronte   A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked. •Bernard Meltzer   True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. •George Washington   Friends are born, not made. •Henry Adams   Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes. •Anonymous   Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. •Aristotle   A friend loveth at all times. •Bible, Proverbs 17:17   Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship-never. •Charles Caleb Colton   A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature. •Ralph Waldo Emerson  It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them •Ralph Waldo Emerson   The only way to have a friend is to be one. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends. •Euripides   It is in the thirties that we want friends.
