If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wise (Minstrel or Sage,) out of their books are clay;  But in their books, as from their graves ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4545]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Wise (Minstrel or Sage,) out of their books are clay;  But in their books, as from their graves they rise.   Angels--that, side by side, upon our way,    Walk with and warn us!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The frustrated follow a leader less because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47595]]></link><description><![CDATA[The frustrated follow a leader less because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than because of their immediate feeling that he is leading them away from their unwanted selves.

Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high,  And wings it with sublime desires,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high,  And wings it with sublime desires,   And fits it to bespeak the Deity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art supplies constantly to contemplation what nature seldom affords in concrete experience — the union of life and peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art supplies constantly to contemplation what nature seldom affords in concrete experience — the union of life and peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38360]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that will probably take place in January -- but it is our belief that those troops will be Iraqi troops and there may be additional international troops that arrive to help out, as well as part of the U.N. mission.
