The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all pointed sentences some degree of accuracy must be sacrificed to conciseness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/335]]></link><description><![CDATA[In all pointed sentences some degree of accuracy must be sacrificed to conciseness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62590]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think any of the firefighters keep this job just for the pay.
