All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any departure from fact is the first step on a slippery slope toward unbelievability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any departure from fact is the first step on a slippery slope toward unbelievability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whom they have injured, they also hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whom they have injured, they also hate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were at such a fever pitch over getting to setting the referendum date and amount ... that I think ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36740]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were at such a fever pitch over getting to setting the referendum date and amount ... that I think having gotten to that point everybody heaved a sigh of relief and the air went out of the tires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch ofbastards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch ofbastards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15607]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So then because some towns in England are not represented, America is to have no representative at all.

We think of His earthly life as moving on a plane so different from ours that no parallel can be drawn between them. What we forget is, that He too needed to walk by faith, needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, needed the sympathy of loving friends, needed the strengthening that is gained by private prayer. His strong and beautiful, serene and holy life so fills the eye that we lose sight of His secret intercourse with the Father, out of which came all its beauty, all its power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smaller the mind the greater the conceit ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28486]]></link><description><![CDATA[The smaller the mind the greater the conceit]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[China is expected to eliminate some key restrictions by January of 2005.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I attended the event in Napa in July and it was amazing, so when we heard about this one, we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33329]]></link><description><![CDATA[I attended the event in Napa in July and it was amazing, so when we heard about this one, we had to sign up.
