A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list. But the crucial point here is that all of these can be traced back to the initial rejection of the absolute authority of Holy Writ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All three times we played Christopher Newport, we got any shot we wanted.
