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 successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26998]]></link><description><![CDATA[A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Error always addresses the passions and prejudices; truth scorns such mean intrigue, and only addresses the understanding and the conscience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Error always addresses the passions and prejudices; truth scorns such mean intrigue, and only addresses the understanding and the conscience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inspiration of the Bible depends upon the ignorance of the gentleman who reads it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inspiration of the Bible depends upon the ignorance of the gentleman who reads it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people say to me, "Why did you kill Christ?"
