No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6023]]></link><description><![CDATA[The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation. -Pearl S.
