A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list. But the crucial point here is that all of these can be traced back to the initial rejection of the absolute authority of Holy Writ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down.

When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old.
