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[From lower to the higher next, Not to the top, is Nature's text;  And embryo good, to reach full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48370]]></link><description><![CDATA[From lower to the higher next, Not to the top, is Nature's text;  And embryo good, to reach full stature,   Absorbs the evil in its nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a worthless conversation, provided you know what to listen for.

And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is not poore that hath little, but he that desireth much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49317]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is not poore that hath little, but he that desireth much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blow, Boreas, foe to human kind! Blow, blustering, freezing, piercing wind!  Blow, that thy force I may rehearse,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blow, Boreas, foe to human kind! Blow, blustering, freezing, piercing wind!  Blow, that thy force I may rehearse,   While all my thoughts congeal to verse!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17431]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was West's first tournament of the year and the team did very well.
