Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The palpable obscure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44765]]></link><description><![CDATA[The palpable obscure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24157]]></link><description><![CDATA[If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Journalists prize independence - not teamwork, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Journalists prize independence - not teamwork,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit, now and then, struck smartly, shows a spark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit, now and then, struck smartly, shows a spark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41491]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All God wants of man is a peaceful heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22450]]></link><description><![CDATA[All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25101]]></link><description><![CDATA[To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me the soft sigh, whilst the soul-telling eye Is dimm'd for a time with a tear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me the soft sigh, whilst the soul-telling eye Is dimm'd for a time with a tear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the physician of each misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the physician of each misery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to have too much courtesy than too little, provided you are not equally courteous to all, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10441]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to have too much courtesy than too little, provided you are not equally courteous to all, for that would be injustice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.
