You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanks to Tony, he didn't give us much time to think about that shot.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the special quality which enables people to stand up and pull the rest of us over the horizon. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the special quality which enables people to stand up and pull the rest of us over the horizon. -James L.
