A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list. But the crucial point here is that all of these can be traced back to the initial rejection of the absolute authority of Holy Writ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, 1932  Souls are not made sweet by taking [ill tempers] out, but by putting something in -- a great Love, a new Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. Christ, the Spirit of Christ, interpenetrating ours, sweetens, purifies, transforms all. This can only eradicate what is wrong, renovate and regenerate, and rehabilitate the inner man. Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does. Therefore "Let that mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life without music would be a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life without music would be a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means.
