His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for "the Church" but for "the whole inhabited world". The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles  The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles  The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all things it is better to hope than to despair ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11993]]></link><description><![CDATA[In all things it is better to hope than to despair]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would say there are very few fixed-rate cards left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32294]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would say there are very few fixed-rate cards left.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fraudsters use current affairs to create legitimacy.

He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us. Rather let us, though with trembling, hold up our hearts to Him, to make them His Own, in what way He willeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This activity has an MHSA-approved scoring system very similar to track and field.

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is known when needed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29554]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is known when needed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friend, for your epitaph I'm grieved, Where still so much is said;  One half will never be believed,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friend, for your epitaph I'm grieved, Where still so much is said;  One half will never be believed,   The other never read.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we suppose a sufficient righteousness and intelligence in men to produce presently, from the tremendous lessons of history, an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62239]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we suppose a sufficient righteousness and intelligence in men to produce presently, from the tremendous lessons of history, an effective will for a world peace--that is to say, an effective will for a world law under a world government--for in no other fashion is a secure world peace conceivable--in what manner may we expect things to move towards this end? . . .
