Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,  Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8938]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have heard The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,  Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat   Awake the god of the day, and at his warning,    Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,     Th' extravagant and erring spirit hies      To his confine; and of the truth herein       This present object made probation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned from the example of my father that the manner in which one endures what must be endured is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13801]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned from the example of my father that the manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are thwarted, it is your own attitude that is out of order. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64498]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are thwarted, it is your own attitude that is out of order.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword, Th' expectancy and rose of the fair state,  The glass of fashion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15345]]></link><description><![CDATA[The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword, Th' expectancy and rose of the fair state,  The glass of fashion and the mould of form,   Th' observed of all observers, quite, quite down!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goose lays the golden egg.

I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the same man, or set of men, holds the sword and the purse, there is an end of liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47186]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the same man, or set of men, holds the sword and the purse, there is an end of liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doug Melvin's contract is absolutely being extended, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doug Melvin's contract is absolutely being extended,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people regard discipline as a chore.
