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[People say we have all got to join Europe for reasons which even the economists themselves aren't clear on-at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33239]]></link><description><![CDATA[People say we have all got to join Europe for reasons which even the economists themselves aren't clear on-at the same time we're saying, well yes of course Scotland has got to be independent.

But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Civil War is not ended: I question whether any serious civil war ever does end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61190]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Civil War is not ended: I question whether any serious civil war ever does end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finality of the inventory correction is not only great for Intel but the entire semiconductor market.
