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[So wise, so grave, of so perplex'd a tongue, And loud withal, that would not wag, not scarce  Lie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23502]]></link><description><![CDATA[So wise, so grave, of so perplex'd a tongue, And loud withal, that would not wag, not scarce  Lie still without a fee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The diseases of the mind are more and more destructive than those of the body. [Lat., Morbi perniciores pluresque animi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27513]]></link><description><![CDATA[The diseases of the mind are more and more destructive than those of the body. [Lat., Morbi perniciores pluresque animi quam corporis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be willing to be uncomfortable.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We join ourselves to no party that does not carry the flag and I keep step to the music of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45769]]></link><description><![CDATA[We join ourselves to no party that does not carry the flag and I keep step to the music of the Union.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All soils are not fertile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48826]]></link><description><![CDATA[All soils are not fertile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cautious seldom err. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14154]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cautious seldom err.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9664]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is a journey...not a destination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is a journey...not a destination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What baron or squire Or knight of the shire  Lives half so well as a holy friar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13240]]></link><description><![CDATA[What baron or squire Or knight of the shire  Lives half so well as a holy friar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The swifter hand doth the swift words outrun: Before the tongue hath spoke the hand hath done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46021]]></link><description><![CDATA[The swifter hand doth the swift words outrun: Before the tongue hath spoke the hand hath done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one fault seeming monstrous till his fellow-fault came to match it. -As You Like It.

Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be carried on in such a way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever. For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tool is but the extension of a man's hand, and a machine is but a complex tool.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always keep your composure.

We still keep on thinking they can. We do not realize ... the utter distinctness of God and the things of God. Psychology of religion can not teach us prayer, and ethics cannot teach us love. Only Christ can do that, and He teaches by the direct method, in and among the circumstances of life. He does not mind about our being comfortable. He wants us to be strong, able to tackle life and be Christians, be apostles in life, so we must be trained by the ups and downs, the rough-and-tumble of life. Team games are compulsory in the school of Divine Love -- there is no getting into a corner with a nice, spiritual book.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The alternative is to do nothing and be ignored.] Once the penalties are levied, it's a silent message unless it's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40979]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The alternative is to do nothing and be ignored.] Once the penalties are levied, it's a silent message unless it's collected, ...
