The Love Feast, which should have been the sign and symbol of perfect unity, has become a thing of divisions and class distinctions. And here there is something which only the newer translations reveal. In the older translations, it is said that to eat and drink at the sacrament without discerning the Lord's body is the way to judgment and not to salvation. But in the best Greek text, the word Lord's is not included. The sin is not to discern the body; that is to say, not to discern that the church is a body, not to be aware of the oneness of the church, not to be aware of the togetherness in which all its members should be joined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say miracles are past. -All 's Well that Ends Well.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's hard to focus on three players on defense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42262]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's hard to focus on three players on defense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4701]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never any pity for conceited people, because I think they carry their comfort about with them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9606]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never any pity for conceited people, because I think they carry their comfort about with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the day, do the day's work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58306]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the day, do the day's work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20387]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25238]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compromise.
