A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now the noisy winds are still; April's coming up the hill!  All the spring is in her train,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the noisy winds are still; April's coming up the hill!  All the spring is in her train,   Led by shining ranks of rain;    Pit, pat, patter, clatter,     Sudden sun and clatter patter!      . . . .       All things ready with a will,        April's coming up the hill!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life,you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21399]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life,you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality oflife that's far below what you deserve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be happy.

The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  August 26, 2000 Continuing a short series on the Bible:   Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere.

For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item></channel></rss>
