One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mass evangelism undoubtedly has its place; parochial missions can make their contribution; a specially gifted evangelist can proclaim his message; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mass evangelism undoubtedly has its place; parochial missions can make their contribution; a specially gifted evangelist can proclaim his message; the specialist Christian can make his contribution in factory, in politics and in teaching; all these are genuine contributions to the evangelistic activity of the Christian Church: but in the last analysis it is the worshipping community, that part of the Body of Christ that worships, lives and proclaims the Gospel in all its activities in any given neighborhood, which is the real evangelising agent used by the Spirit of God. It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our natures are a lot like oil, mix us with anything else, and we strive to swim on top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our natures are a lot like oil, mix us with anything else, and we strive to swim on top.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The impossible - what nobody can do until somebody does ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20651]]></link><description><![CDATA[The impossible - what nobody can do until somebody does]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had to work out that it was something that could move, without having everybody in spray painted leotards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32088]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had to work out that it was something that could move, without having everybody in spray painted leotards.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music helps not the toothache. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music helps not the toothache.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity is excellent to the eyes of mediocre people ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity is excellent to the eyes of mediocre people]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12652]]></link><description><![CDATA[And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music doesn't lie.

Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item></channel></rss>
