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[That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13774]]></link><description><![CDATA[That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63474]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543 Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 5. the ministry of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543 Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 5. the ministry of bearing   "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Gal. 6:2). Thus the law of Christ is a law of bearing. Bearing means forbearing and sustaining...   The Christian must suffer and endure the brother. It is only when he is a burden that another person is really a brother and not merely an object to be manipulated. It is, first of all, the freedom of the other person that is a burden to the Christian. The freedom of the other person includes all that we mean by a person's nature, individuality, endowment. It also includes his weaknesses and oddities, which are such a trial to our patience, everything that produces frictions, conflicts, and collisions among us.   Then, there is the abuse of that freedom that becomes a burden for the Christian. In sin, fellowship with God and with his brother are broken. To cherish no contempt for the sinner but rather to prize the privilege of bearing him means not to have to give him up as lost, to be able to accept him, to preserve fellowship with him through forgiveness...   The service of forgiveness is rendered by one to the others daily. It occurs, without words, in the intercessions for one another. He who is bearing others knows that he himself is being borne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10334]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54185]]></link><description><![CDATA[The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47404]]></link><description><![CDATA[War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11406]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is not attained by chance.
