St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is definitely a trend that's being done more often. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32458]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is definitely a trend that's being done more often.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But since the world, which thou art to strive against, is not without thee, but within thee, it follows, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38315]]></link><description><![CDATA[But since the world, which thou art to strive against, is not without thee, but within thee, it follows, that it is also to be conquered not without, but within thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Dr. [John A.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't test courage cautiously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10318]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't test courage cautiously.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of kids could be out like Whitney and not come to practice.

Of course, such a way is hard and costly, but it is also joyous and rewarding even in the here-and-now. People who follow that Way know beyond all possible argument that they are in harmony with the purpose of God, that Christ is with them and in them as they set about His work in our disordered world. If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66061]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45655]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment.
