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[To say that every individual has the right to religious freedom is not to condone religious indifferentism or irresponsibility, nor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34983]]></link><description><![CDATA[To say that every individual has the right to religious freedom is not to condone religious indifferentism or irresponsibility, nor is it to promote the installation of a supermarket of religions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it.
