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[Most people, once they graduate from the School of Hard Knocks,automatically enroll in the University of Adversity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people, once they graduate from the School of Hard Knocks,automatically enroll in the University of Adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27231]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone.

For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"? And can you live face to face with Jesus Christ, and be content with what you are?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950]]></link><description><![CDATA[A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of reaching their goals. We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46900]]></link><description><![CDATA[A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.
