I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold.

Having themselves been emancipated from the superstitions and slavery of a false doctrine and a harsh ecclesiastical government, it would be thought most natural that the Reformers and those who followed them should promptly turn their attention to spreading these glad tidings among non-Christian peoples; but here a strange anomaly is found in the fact that there had been hardly any period, in the entire history of the Christian Church, so destitute of any concerted effort to spread the gospel in heathen lands [as] just this period of the Reformation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doubt, rather than faith, is high among the causes of the religious boom.

And the church's response to this current situation will reveal, better than anything else, our faith in God -- or our faithlessness. If we churchmen interpret such pervasive doubt as a threat, then we will do as the church has done so often in the past: we will substitute the church for God, and make our church-centered activities into an ersatz kingdom of God. Our faithlessness will be evident in the easy paraphrase of the hard truth of the gospel, and in the lapse from the critical loyalty that God requires of us, into the vague and corrupting sentimentalism that has so marred American Protestantism. Or the church can interpret the present religious situation as a promise, as God's recall of His people to a new reformation. Our faithfulness to God-in-Christ will be manifest in the willingness to be honest with ourselves and with the gospel. Then we may view the church, not as an end in itself, but as the point of departure into the world for which the Son of God died. Which will it be?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A noble plant suites not with a stubborne ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49064]]></link><description><![CDATA[A noble plant suites not with a stubborne ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are in the final leg.
