It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills, and proclamations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19420]]></link><description><![CDATA[More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills, and proclamations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An act of God was defined as "something which no reasonable man could have expected.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22540]]></link><description><![CDATA[An act of God was defined as "something which no reasonable man could have expected.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Innocent as a dove you will harm no one, but wise as a serpent no one will harm you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Innocent as a dove you will harm no one, but wise as a serpent no one will harm you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26968]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person.

The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.
