No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started playing a little bit soft, playing some zone.

I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What can't be cured must be endured ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53781]]></link><description><![CDATA[What can't be cured must be endured]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a country redneck bloke ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32783]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm a country redneck bloke]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3781]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The punishment which the wise suffer, who refuse to take part in government, is to live under the government of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18060]]></link><description><![CDATA[The punishment which the wise suffer, who refuse to take part in government, is to live under the government of worse men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3447]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4465]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to climb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power.
