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[A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20090]]></link><description><![CDATA[A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Promise is most given when the least is said. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Promise is most given when the least is said.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20280]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In war the heroes always outnumber the soldiers ten to one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19270]]></link><description><![CDATA[In war the heroes always outnumber the soldiers ten to one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hasty conclusions lead to speedy repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hasty conclusions lead to speedy repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To pay homage to beauty is to admire Nature; to admire Nature is to worship God ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43759]]></link><description><![CDATA[To pay homage to beauty is to admire Nature; to admire Nature is to worship God]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Czar has a cold all Russia coughs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12515]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the Czar has a cold all Russia coughs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is dangerous.
