St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an accomplishment for all Iraqis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34847]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an accomplishment for all Iraqis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is real!

It finds men's worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God's worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication.

As long as the war lasted, he looked upon him as his fellow-helper in all emergencies and fed him carefully with hay and corn. But when the war was over, he only allowed him chaff to eat and made him carry heavy loads of wood, subjecting him to much slavish drudgery and ill-treatment. War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail. The Horse fell down straightway under the weight, no longer equal to the burden, and said to his master, You must now go to the war on foot, for you have transformed me from a Horse into an Ass; and how can you expect that I can again turn in a moment from an Ass to a Horse?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bolt from the blue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bolt from the blue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're thrilled.
