Nor will it take comfort in the thought that God is dead, or that mankind has come of age, or even in ecumenical negotiations for writing off Papal Infallibility against the validity of Anglican Orders. The only means of satisfying it remains that bread of life which Jesus offered, with the promise that those who are of it should never hunger again.

Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity reminds men of religion. [Lat., Adverse res admonent religionum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity reminds men of religion. [Lat., Adverse res admonent religionum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reign of imagagology begins where history ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46286]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reign of imagagology begins where history ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst of all diseases is a nervous ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11253]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst of all diseases is a nervous ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Popularity is exhausting.

They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item></channel></rss>
