Because it rests on Christ and his authority, the question of inerrancy will therefore remain a key doctrine of the evangelical church so long as Christ is Lord. Evangelicals must remember, however, that this basis must be set forth anew for every generation. What was adequate for Gaussen, Pieper, and Warfield is still valuable, but it is not necessarily adequate to serve as the foundation for the thinking of our generation. The case for inerrancy must be made anew with each presentation of the gospel teaching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A degree is not an education, and the confusion on this point is perhaps the gravest weakness in American thinking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9749]]></link><description><![CDATA[A degree is not an education, and the confusion on this point is perhaps the gravest weakness in American thinking about education]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather do theater and British films than move to LA in hopes of getting small roles in American films. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8694]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather do theater and British films than move to LA in hopes of getting small roles in American films.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no living with thee, nor without thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25763]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no living with thee, nor without thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't defame someone, or just walk naked on the streets because freedom of expression has limits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36644]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't defame someone, or just walk naked on the streets because freedom of expression has limits.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10434]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9348]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's starting to show up more and more in the right place.

Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties.

By this we do not mean any particular part of the Church; what we do mean is that conversion must leave one linked in loving fellowship with one's fellow believers. Conversion is not something simply between a man and Jesus Christ, with no other person involved. True, it may start in that way; but it cannot end in that way. Conversion is not individualistic. It is, in fact, just the opposite. It joins man to his fellow men, and certainly does not separate him from them.
