A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...originality consists of the achievement of new combinations, and not of the creation of something out of nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52008]]></link><description><![CDATA[...originality consists of the achievement of new combinations, and not of the creation of something out of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man thinks there is much ado about nothing when the ado is about himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60411]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man thinks there is much ado about nothing when the ado is about himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe I'm lucky to be going so slowly, because I may be going in the wrong direction ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maybe I'm lucky to be going so slowly, because I may be going in the wrong direction]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Magic] is not mere superstition.

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52779]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life, like a mirror, never gives back more than we put into it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life, like a mirror, never gives back more than we put into it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24873]]></link><description><![CDATA[The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew they were going to double- team, triple-team me.
