A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou shalt go thou shalt return never in battle shalt thou perish. [Lat., Ibis redibis non morieris in bello.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou shalt go thou shalt return never in battle shalt thou perish. [Lat., Ibis redibis non morieris in bello.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;  Though every prospect pleases,   And only man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62308]]></link><description><![CDATA[What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;  Though every prospect pleases,   And only man is vile;    In vain with lavish kindness     The gifts of God are strown;      The heathen in his blindness       Bows down to wood and stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century  Thanksgiving (U.S.)  Here [Mark11:27-33] they discerned a flaw, a heresy; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century  Thanksgiving (U.S.)  Here [Mark11:27-33] they discerned a flaw, a heresy; and they would force Him either to make a fatal claim, or else to moderate His pretensions at their bidding, which would promptly restore their lost influence and leadership.
