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[Doubt indulged soon becomes doubt realized.   - Frances R.

When summarized in a few neat words or phrases, these gems of wisdom become substitutes for thought, and gradually take on much of the status of revealed truth. Occasionally, some iconoclast sees fit to challenge one of them, and a brief flurry ensues, after which things go on about as before. It is easy to think of plenty of ideas that are passing, if they have not already passed, beyond the stage of effective discussion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comedy is second nature for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comedy is second nature for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enemies promises were made to be broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enemies promises were made to be broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.  [Ger., Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergiebt,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.  [Ger., Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergiebt,   Ach! der ist bald allein.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though this be madness, yet there is method in't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're still young, but you can really see the difference a year of experience under their belts can make.

Stipendiary clergy cut off by training and life from that common experience are constantly struggling to get close to the laity by wearing lay clothing, sharing in lay amusements, and organizing lay clubs; but they never quite succeed. To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53059]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A heart unspotted is not easily daunted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51311]]></link><description><![CDATA[A heart unspotted is not easily daunted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65031]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not remember days; we remember moments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27764]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not remember days; we remember moments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women relate to Ivana because she suffered.
