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[One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43781]]></link><description><![CDATA[One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're always looking for a way to enhance service. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33428]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're always looking for a way to enhance service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the relation of a secular, this-worldly unification of mankind to the biblical promise of the summing up of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7247]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the relation of a secular, this-worldly unification of mankind to the biblical promise of the summing up of all things in Christ? Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And sheathed their swords for lack of argument. -King Henry V.
