Christians who really have life in Christ cannot exist within such a corpse and will at last have to come out of it. But in almost all cases, those who have come out of dead institutions want to have in their place another institution or other rituals and ceremonies, only repeating the same error. Instead of turning to Christ Himself as their center, they again seek to find fellowship and spiritual security on the very same basis that failed, not realizing that it is the institution that is killing, instead of producing, life in Christ.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14148]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I met with [Robert Furniss, director of Parking and Transportation] last week...and it's a very complicated issue.

For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances. All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew there was going to be some serious hitting going on, but I tell you what. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37469]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew there was going to be some serious hitting going on, but I tell you what.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My bottom line is that if the U.S. government just stands on the autopilot, just on the current trim line ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35956]]></link><description><![CDATA[My bottom line is that if the U.S. government just stands on the autopilot, just on the current trim line ...
