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[Writing is making sense of life.

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 wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5969]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clown is like aspirin, only he works twice as fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8923]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clown is like aspirin, only he works twice as fast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went from a barber to cattleman, out of cattle into horses.
