Because it rests on Christ and his authority, the question of inerrancy will therefore remain a key doctrine of the evangelical church so long as Christ is Lord. Evangelicals must remember, however, that this basis must be set forth anew for every generation. What was adequate for Gaussen, Pieper, and Warfield is still valuable, but it is not necessarily adequate to serve as the foundation for the thinking of our generation. The case for inerrancy must be made anew with each presentation of the gospel teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfortunately in groups that deal with politics, membership gets bigger when we are close to an election then sort of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unfortunately in groups that deal with politics, membership gets bigger when we are close to an election then sort of drops off in a non-election year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a wonderful thing to talk about, or to read about in history books - but it is terrible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a wonderful thing to talk about, or to read about in history books - but it is terrible when one has to live it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Plagiarism of orators is the art, or an ingenious and easy mode, which some adroitly employ to change, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46636]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Plagiarism of orators is the art, or an ingenious and easy mode, which some adroitly employ to change, or disguise, all sorts of speeches or their own composition, or that of other authors, for their pleasure, or their utility; in such a manner that it becomes impossible even for the author himself to recognize his own work, his own genius, and his own style, so skillfully shall the whole be disguised.   - Isaac D'Israeli,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man restored our fortunes by delay.
