Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that breake the yce and give the onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of soules. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver Gods booke unto the Gods people in a tongue which they understand? ... So if we, building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, doe endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, has cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us. For is the Kingdom of God become words or syllables? Why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free?

This assumption is quite erroneous...The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble.

It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forever is composed of nows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forever is composed of nows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Down to Gehenna or up to the throne, He travels the fastest who travel alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Down to Gehenna or up to the throne, He travels the fastest who travel alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say, Bacchus, why so placid?
