And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do blacks identify with the Christian religionof their oppressors?Source: Diane Rehm Show guest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why do blacks identify with the Christian religionof their oppressors?Source: Diane Rehm Show guest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As nuclear and other technological achievements continue to mount, the normal life span will continue to climb.

I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's "magic" is another man's engineering.
