There are siren voices (as well as gut reactions) telling Christians that the way to success in evangelism is to follow the natural divisions, and to try to build churches along cultural, social and racial divisions. In doing so, they ignore the "success" in the New Testament in crossing these lines; more importantly, they are in fact stressing success more highly than the truth of the gospel. To buy success at the price of treating the fundamental nature of the gospel as dispensable is to follow a false gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hast thou attempted greatnesse? Then go on;  Back-turning slackens resolution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hast thou attempted greatnesse? Then go on;  Back-turning slackens resolution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64179]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have both feet planted on level ground, then the university has failed you. -Robert F.

But the substance of that covenant is all pure mercy and grace. If men presume to claim for themselves, upon the basis of the covenant, some relationship with God other than that of the sinner needing God's grace, the covenant has been perverted. And when that has happened, God, in the sovereign freedom of His grace, destroy these pretensions, calls "No people" to be His people, breaks off natural branches and grafts in wild slips, filling them with the life that is His own life imparted to man. There is no law in His Kingdom save the law of pure grace. That is why they come from east and west to sit down with Abraham and Isaac, while the sons of the Kingdom are cast out; for the sons of the Kingdom have no place there unless they are willing to sit down with all whom the Lord of the feast shall call, and to receive His mercy in exactly the same way as the publicans and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success.
