Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's live with that small pittance which we have; Who covets more is evermore a slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let's live with that small pittance which we have; Who covets more is evermore a slave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is all nouns and verbs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is all nouns and verbs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has hay upon his horn.
