Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[life is the most common disease transmissible through sex ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66830]]></link><description><![CDATA[life is the most common disease transmissible through sex]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have tied me to a stake.

What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless. Our question of the why of evil assumes the view that the world has a purpose, and what we want to know is how suffering fits into and advances this purpose. The modern view is that suffering has no purpose because nothing that happens has any purpose: the world is run by causes, not by purposes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hasty multitude Admiring enter'd, and the work some praise,  And some the architect: his hand was known  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3033]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hasty multitude Admiring enter'd, and the work some praise,  And some the architect: his hand was known   In heaven by many a tower'd structure high,    Where scepter'd angels held their residence,     And sat as princes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The solitary, silent, solemn scene, Where Caesars, heroes, peasants, hermits lie,  Blended in dust together; where the slave  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18218]]></link><description><![CDATA[The solitary, silent, solemn scene, Where Caesars, heroes, peasants, hermits lie,  Blended in dust together; where the slave   Rests from his labors; where th' insulting proud    Resigns his powers; the miser drops his hoard:     Where human folly sleeps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25324]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors.

Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease.
