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.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all forms of government the people is the true legislator. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24595]]></link><description><![CDATA[In all forms of government the people is the true legislator.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roots is not just a saga of my family.
