Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will-he willbe sure to repent it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22761]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will-he willbe sure to repent it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20451]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19832]]></link><description><![CDATA[A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to rise from life as from a banquet--neither thirsty nor drunken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42890]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to rise from life as from a banquet--neither thirsty nor drunken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's pretty much putting yourself inside a prison .ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â .ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â . and that's not for business people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29721]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's pretty much putting yourself inside a prison .ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â .ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â . and that's not for business people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is a second self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16855]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is a second self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some mute, inglorious Milton here may rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some mute, inglorious Milton here may rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64819]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[EPIPHANY   What should I think of my child, if I found that he limited his faith in me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8095]]></link><description><![CDATA[EPIPHANY   What should I think of my child, if I found that he limited his faith in me and hope from me to the few promises he had heard me utter! The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Summer makes me drowsy.
