The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is the truth in action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is the truth in action.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63441]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64182]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfortunately this earth is not. . . a fairy-land, but a struggle for life, perfectly natural and therefore extremely harsh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unfortunately this earth is not. . . a fairy-land, but a struggle for life, perfectly natural and therefore extremely harsh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Manfred: Let's get something straight, ok?

That phrase represents Paul's "ecclesia of God". It is a community of loving persons, who bear one another's burdens, who seek to build up one another in love, who "have the same thoughts in relation to one another that they have in their communion with Christ". It is all this because it is the living embodiment of Christ's own Spirit. This is a high and mystical doctrine, but a doctrine which has no meaning apart from loving fellowship in real life. A company of people who celebrate a solemn sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, and all the time are moved by selfish passions -- rivalry, competition, mutual contempt -- is not for Paul a Church or Divine Commonwealth at all, no matter how lofty their faith or how deep their mystical experience; for all these things may "puff up"; love alone "builds up". In the very act, therefore, of attaining its liberty to exist, the Divine Commonwealth has transcended the great divisions of men. In principle, it has transcended them all, and by seriously living out that which its association means, it is on the way to comprehending the whole race. Short of that its development can never stop. This is the revealing of the sons of God for which the whole creation is waiting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One important key to success is self-confidence.
