No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A home with a loving and loyal husband and wife is the supreme setting in which children can be reared ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66706]]></link><description><![CDATA[A home with a loving and loyal husband and wife is the supreme setting in which children can be reared in love and righteousness and in which the spiritual and physical needs of children can be met.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a bull moose, walking right through town.

St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is robbed, not wanting what is stol'n, Let him not know't, and he's not robbed at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59140]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is robbed, not wanting what is stol'n, Let him not know't, and he's not robbed at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For courage mounteth with occasion. -King John.
