A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list. But the crucial point here is that all of these can be traced back to the initial rejection of the absolute authority of Holy Writ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The low'ring element Scowls o'er the darken'd landscape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8914]]></link><description><![CDATA[The low'ring element Scowls o'er the darken'd landscape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many people died from no water and no food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many people died from no water and no food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have been working with Dean Gail and the Office of the Dean of Students to make sure that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33092]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have been working with Dean Gail and the Office of the Dean of Students to make sure that the needs of our visitors are met.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The town was given a pretty clear message that it needed a new site. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39679]]></link><description><![CDATA[The town was given a pretty clear message that it needed a new site.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last, but by no means least, courage--moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through.
