The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't always connect ourselves with our history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40753]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't always connect ourselves with our history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Owing to the pressure of an ever-increasing number of subjects ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Owing to the pressure of an ever-increasing number of subjects introduced into the curriculum of a school, it is only too possible for men to be held to be educated and intelligent without ever having seriously tested their intelligence upon, say, the Book of Job, or upon the Epistle of Paul to the Romans. 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Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed.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[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757]]></link><description><![CDATA[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry!
