It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My lungs began to crow like chanticleer, That fools should be so deep-contemplative; And I did laugh sans intermission An ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55649]]></link><description><![CDATA[My lungs began to crow like chanticleer, That fools should be so deep-contemplative; And I did laugh sans intermission An hour by his dial. -As You Like It.

But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18380]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18380</guid></item></channel></rss>
