Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God himself has no right to be a tyrant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47405]]></link><description><![CDATA[God himself has no right to be a tyrant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Service without reward is punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Service without reward is punishment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody expects it to take real long, but it takes a while to build a program anywhere.
