If, however, they mean that we should expect results merely by repeating the actual phrases found in the New Testament, then they are mistaken. They are making, in fact, one of the basic mistakes in verbal communication, which is to confuse words with what they describe. The gospel is something God has done, not a series of phrases describing it. Saying this does not undermine the Christian's belief in the inspiration of the Bible, for the important thing about the Bible is what it talks about, rather than the way it does the talking. If we considered that there was the same degree of essential inspiration in the way it does the talking, then we would have to insist that every Christian learn Hebrew and Greek. The mere fact that we in the Western world read translations of the scriptures is a clear admission that times and cultures have changed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take all the fools out of this world and there wouldn't be any fun living in it, or profit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take all the fools out of this world and there wouldn't be any fun living in it, or profit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue  Of him that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23243]]></link><description><![CDATA[A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue  Of him that makes it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have played six games this season but this is the first time we have played well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40196]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have played six games this season but this is the first time we have played well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! for the rarity Of Christian charity  Under the sun.   Oh! it was pitiful!    ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! for the rarity Of Christian charity  Under the sun.   Oh! it was pitiful!    Near a whole city full,     Home had she none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no great things, only small things with great love.

Nor is there any other foundation for any, nor other name by which any can be saved, but the name of Jesus. But how this foundation is presented, and how this name of Jesus is notified unto them, amongst whom there is no Gospel preached, no Church established, I am not curious in inquiring. I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be; and I would be as charitable as they are. And therefore, humbly embracing that manifestation of his Son, which he hath afforded me, I leave God, to his unsearchable waies of working upon others, without further inquisition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's really important is the emergence of a political class that would agree on the rules of the game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34952]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's really important is the emergence of a political class that would agree on the rules of the game.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While many a glowworm in the shade Lights up her love torch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17576]]></link><description><![CDATA[While many a glowworm in the shade Lights up her love torch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I?m just tired.
