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[Commercially available software should fit most needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commercially available software should fit most needs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I refuse to enter a wet T-Shirt Contest until my breasts look more like breasts, and less like something I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54690]]></link><description><![CDATA[I refuse to enter a wet T-Shirt Contest until my breasts look more like breasts, and less like something I should tuck into my pants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11866]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper. . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind can also be an erogenous zone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62683]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind can also be an erogenous zone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man works like a horse for his money, there are a lot of girls anxious to take him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2029]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man works like a horse for his money, there are a lot of girls anxious to take him down the bridal path.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the honey of Hybla, my old lad of the castle--and is not a buff jerkin in a most sweet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51295]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the honey of Hybla, my old lad of the castle--and is not a buff jerkin in a most sweet robe of durance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiritual progress is like detoxification.
