This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persons of mean understandings, not so inquisitive, nor so well instructed, are made good Christians, and by reverence and obedience, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persons of mean understandings, not so inquisitive, nor so well instructed, are made good Christians, and by reverence and obedience, implicity believe, and abide by their belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that's created a healthy environment.

Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a mistake every man should make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a mistake every man should make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say in disguise, and is calling us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in His great campaign of sabotage]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is a social process ...
