A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here was a rare man, who lived a rare life and showed us the way to live life at its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here was a rare man, who lived a rare life and showed us the way to live life at its fullest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All three of us had a vision for an exceptional opera program. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28885]]></link><description><![CDATA[All three of us had a vision for an exceptional opera program.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It does not make a very great difference what side of Christ's work attracts us and appeals to us most; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6511]]></link><description><![CDATA[It does not make a very great difference what side of Christ's work attracts us and appeals to us most; doubtless Christ has many ways of drawing men to Himself. One side of Christ's work will appeal most to one mind, another to another. The mistake that is often made by those who speak most about Christian experience is that they are so apt to insist upon everyone else's experience -- on penalty of its utter worthlessness -- being exactly the same as their own. The great thing is that we should be attracted by Christ in some way, that we should come to God in that spirit of penitence which Christ taught was the one condition of acceptance with Him, and with that steady purpose of amendment which is, as he always taught, a part of true penitence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation is a thing that lives and acts like a man and men are the particulars of which it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43686]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation is a thing that lives and acts like a man and men are the particulars of which it is composed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Risk to civilian life has been undermined and ignored by both parties in the name of military necessity.
