Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's greatest challenge is to control oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46219]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's greatest challenge is to control oneself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like wind.
