It is to such a degree an element of our thinking that we hardly notice it. It has been since the first centuries a standard view, a means to give account of the, indeed, often disappointing state and quality of Christian faith and practice in the Church as it appeared. As such it is understandable; but nevertheless it proceeds more from the counsels of worldly wisdom than from the faith-as-response by which the Church should live, and the call to incessant renewal under which the Church stands as "God's own household", "growing into a holy temple in the Lord". However stubborn and refractory the stuff of ordinary reality may be -- and it is -- the Church, though with clear realism seeing this reality, can never permit itself to put the divine indicatives and imperatives, which are her peculiar directives and points of orientation, behind considerations which are properly speaking worldly in character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sottish ignorance and infidelity to suppose that, under the Gospel, there is no communication between God and us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7348]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sottish ignorance and infidelity to suppose that, under the Gospel, there is no communication between God and us but what is, on His part, in laws, commands, and promises; and an ours, by obedience performed in our strength and upon our convictions unto them.

The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown...
