But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw my first Friesian back in 1980 when I was a judge at the California State Fair.

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A moment of silence is not inherently religious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64114]]></link><description><![CDATA[A moment of silence is not inherently religious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be beautiful than to be good, but it is better to be good than to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3806]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be beautiful than to be good, but it is better to be good than to be ugly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10640</guid></item></channel></rss>
