No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all have our time machines.

Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26362]]></link><description><![CDATA[To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By merit raised To that bad eminence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27389]]></link><description><![CDATA[By merit raised To that bad eminence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There must be a constant and increasing appreciation that though sin still remains it does not have the mastery.

There is a total difference between surviving sin and reigning sin, the regenerate in conflict with sin and the unregenerate complacent to sin. It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin. It is of paramount concern for the Christian and for the interests of his sanctification that he should know that sin does not have the dominion over him, that the forces of redeeming, regenerative, and sanctifying grace have been brought to bear upon him in that which is central in his moral and spiritual being, that he is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and that Christ has been formed in him the hope of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A happy soul, that all the way To heaven hath a summer's day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57285]]></link><description><![CDATA[A happy soul, that all the way To heaven hath a summer's day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power has no limits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power has no limits.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a tremendous clutch player.
