It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At about six in the morning of July 3, 1860, while I was watering my petunias, and thinking of nothing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4619]]></link><description><![CDATA[At about six in the morning of July 3, 1860, while I was watering my petunias, and thinking of nothing in particular, I perceived coming towards me, a tall, beardless, fair-haired young fellow, wearing a German cap and gold-rimmed spectacles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To converse with Scandal is to play at Losing Loadum, you must lose a good name to him, before you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54746]]></link><description><![CDATA[To converse with Scandal is to play at Losing Loadum, you must lose a good name to him, before you can win it for yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True as the needle to the pole, Or as the dial to the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58311]]></link><description><![CDATA[True as the needle to the pole, Or as the dial to the sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's impossible to move, to live, to operate at any level without leaving traces, bits, seemingly meaningless fragments of personal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9421]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's impossible to move, to live, to operate at any level without leaving traces, bits, seemingly meaningless fragments of personal information.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12944</guid></item></channel></rss>
