St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The entire Old Testament] ground-plan is the whole scheme of Messianic prophecy, from the germinal revelation in Genesis concerning the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6677]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The entire Old Testament] ground-plan is the whole scheme of Messianic prophecy, from the germinal revelation in Genesis concerning the suffering, yet triumphant Seed of the Woman to the coming to His Temple of the long-absent "Angel of the Covenant" in Malachi. That hope alone explains the Book, giving meaning and consistency to its story. Was it a chimera, an hallucination? According to the prophecy of Micah, the messianic Shepherd of Israel had to be born in Bethlehem. It is unthinkable that an heir to the throne of David could be born in Bethlehem now, and be also able to prove his legitimacy by documentary evidence. The event must clearly have taken place already, or Micah is a false prophet, a raiser of false hopes, along with the other writers in the Old Testament.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The palest ink is better than the best memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26946]]></link><description><![CDATA[The palest ink is better than the best memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wears himself out by his labours, and grows old through his love of possessing wealth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50248]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wears himself out by his labours, and grows old through his love of possessing wealth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If nations could only depend upon fair and impartial judgments in a world court of law, they would abandon the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43736]]></link><description><![CDATA[If nations could only depend upon fair and impartial judgments in a world court of law, they would abandon the senseless, savage practice of war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If criticism has made such discoveries as to necessitate the abandonment of the doctrine of plenary inspiration, it is not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6470]]></link><description><![CDATA[If criticism has made such discoveries as to necessitate the abandonment of the doctrine of plenary inspiration, it is not enough to say that we are compelled to abandon only a "particular theory of inspiration..."

It can only be combined with the vocation of a pioneer missionary of the classic type if matrimony is felt to be spiritually neutral, irrelevant to God's calling. Marriage can be irrelevant only if we believe that the body -- matter -- is neutral, irrelevant, or evil. Man can not believe that and believe the Christian faith. God made matter, and was incarnate in it: the comparison of the relation of husband and wife to that between Christ and the Church naturally follows. But this conclusion is not always drawn, for orthodox Christians are often prone to speak and behave as if the Lord... became not flesh but spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The industry is working on tags as small as the dot of on the letter 'i', or tags can be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39571]]></link><description><![CDATA[The industry is working on tags as small as the dot of on the letter 'i', or tags can be woven into fabric, in effect hiding them from the consumer.

I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox.

The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Joan of Arc, Visionary, 1431 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Joan of Arc, Visionary, 1431 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933   I would have the whole of my experience one continued sense -- first, of my nothingness, and dependence on God; second, of my guiltiness and desert before Him; third, of my obligations to redeeming love, as utterly overwhelming me with its incomprehensible extent and grandeur.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . one of the goals of life is to try and be in touch with one's most personal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60333]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . one of the goals of life is to try and be in touch with one's most personal themes -- the values, ideas, styles, colors that are the touchstones of one's own individual life, its real texture and substance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never did a day's work in my life, it was all fun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56533]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never did a day's work in my life, it was all fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the want, but rather abundance that creates avarice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/233]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the want, but rather abundance that creates avarice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes, they waste their deaths on us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19249]]></link><description><![CDATA[You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes, they waste their deaths on us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity.
