A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The life of the husbandman,--a life led by the bounty of earth and sweetened by the airs of heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1955]]></link><description><![CDATA[The life of the husbandman,--a life led by the bounty of earth and sweetened by the airs of heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tall Oak, towering to the skies, The fury of the wind defies,  From age to age, in virtue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44719]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tall Oak, towering to the skies, The fury of the wind defies,  From age to age, in virtue strong.   Inured to stand, and suffer wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59548]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[... then the world 's mine oyster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22153]]></link><description><![CDATA[... then the world 's mine oyster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor is reason gone mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor is reason gone mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26230]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
