Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't what they say about you, it's what they whisper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27649]]></link><description><![CDATA[It isn't what they say about you, it's what they whisper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In youth we run into difficulties; in old age difficulties run into us. -Josh Billings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1881]]></link><description><![CDATA[In youth we run into difficulties; in old age difficulties run into us. -Josh Billings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where entity and quiddity, The ghosts of defunct bodies, fly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where entity and quiddity, The ghosts of defunct bodies, fly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54118]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presence may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66020]]></link><description><![CDATA[You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A soldier when aged is not appreciated; the love of an old man sickens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50705]]></link><description><![CDATA[A soldier when aged is not appreciated; the love of an old man sickens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57105]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sheer madness to live in want in order to be wealthy when you die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61453]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sheer madness to live in want in order to be wealthy when you die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61453</guid></item></channel></rss>
