You may indeed do many works of love and delight in them -- especially at such times as they are not inconvenient to your state or temper or occurrences in life. But the Spirit of Love is not in you till it is the spirit of your life, till you live freely, willingly, and universally according to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The period which marked the enormous statistical success of the revival churches was also the period which saw membership standards ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6934]]></link><description><![CDATA[The period which marked the enormous statistical success of the revival churches was also the period which saw membership standards decline almost to the vanishing point.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It went beyond idealism and that ridiculous term activism, which basically means talking about something but doing nothing.

It is what St. Paul calls the mystery -- a secret hidden within God even before the creation of the world, but now made known to men and women of faith, whereby all nations are to be gathered up and presented to God through Jesus Christ. This gathering up takes place in the Church, the mystical Body of Christ. The mystery has been unfolded according to a divine plan; prepared by the vocation of the Jewish people; and substantially realized by the mission of the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ, who by His Ascension introduced human nature for all eternity into the sphere of the life of the Divine Trinity: and this plan is to be accomplished among the various peoples of the world, during the time between Pentecost and the Second Coming.

But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miss: A title with which we brand unmarried women to indicate that they are in the market.
