The Christian Church has a secret at her heart and she wants to share it. Whenever one, by repentance and forgiveness, enters this community of grace, he discovers life's end, and he too will be constrained to let this life flow out in appropriate channels. Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends]. The group will never forget that one of its primary functions is to up build the members in love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27996]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It cuts like a knife but it feels so right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30821]]></link><description><![CDATA[It cuts like a knife but it feels so right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy.

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That does not stop people in those relationships from going through legal means of getting for instance, health care power ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39291]]></link><description><![CDATA[That does not stop people in those relationships from going through legal means of getting for instance, health care power of attorney.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one evil: ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63131]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one evil: ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How could drops of water know themselves to be a river?

Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".
