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[If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it followthat electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged,models deposed, tree ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21323]]></link><description><![CDATA[If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it followthat electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged,models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great law of denial belongs to the powerful forces of life, whether the case be one of coolish baked ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great law of denial belongs to the powerful forces of life, whether the case be one of coolish baked beans, or an unrequited affection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only be free if I am free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46371]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can only be free if I am free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was sixteen I was pretending to be Charlie Musselwhite.

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[Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He [Greenspan] is going to say we're not in a recession, but the risks are very, very high, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37045]]></link><description><![CDATA[He [Greenspan] is going to say we're not in a recession, but the risks are very, very high,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People make decisions that undermine their goals every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41565]]></link><description><![CDATA[People make decisions that undermine their goals every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O lady, nobility is thine, and thy form is the reflection of thy nature! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44573]]></link><description><![CDATA[O lady, nobility is thine, and thy form is the reflection of thy nature!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vengeance comes not slowly either upon you or any other wicked man, but steals silently and imperceptibly, placing its foot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vengeance comes not slowly either upon you or any other wicked man, but steals silently and imperceptibly, placing its foot on the bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more characteristic American hero in the earlier day, and the more beloved type at all times, was not the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19274]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more characteristic American hero in the earlier day, and the more beloved type at all times, was not the hustler but the whittler.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3587]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only one thing is certain -- that is, nothing is certain.
