In the confusion of spiritual phenomena, ... it was possible that evil spirits, as well as the Holy Spirit, inspired some of the manifestations. One in particular Paul singles out as being in obvious contradiction to the work of the Spirit of God: "No man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema (cursed)". On the other hand, "No man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit" (I Cor. 12:3). It is difficult to conceive the state of mind of a member of a Christian congregation who would curse the name of Jesus. Yet it is evident that at Corinth, people gave way to such uncontrollable frenzy that, either in folly or in momentary reversion to Judaism or heathenism, they cursed the name in whose honour they had met... But the spirit that inspired disloyalty to Jesus Christ could not be the Holy Spirit, for in Paul's experience and theology, the two beings were, if not identical, at least in perfect harmony of principle and action. This, then, was Paul's first criterion for deciding which spiritual phenomena could be approved by Christians as the work of the Holy Spirit. They must be loyal to Jesus Christ as Lord of life, and as the object of faith and love for every believer.

Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Thames is liquid history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19485]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Thames is liquid history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Woodrow Wilson, the apparent failure, belongs the undying honor, which will grow with the growing centuries, of having saved ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62236]]></link><description><![CDATA[To Woodrow Wilson, the apparent failure, belongs the undying honor, which will grow with the growing centuries, of having saved the "little child that shall lead them yet."

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though it be honest, it is never good To bring bad news; give to a gracious message  An host ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though it be honest, it is never good To bring bad news; give to a gracious message  An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell   Themselves when they be felt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kid is unbelievable.
