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[In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves...self-discipline with all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60568]]></link><description><![CDATA[In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves...self-discipline with all of them came first.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't get enough information from the investigating agency to proceed with the case.

They stop loving God with all the heart and all the soul and all the strength and all the mind. They stop loving their neighbors, too.
