But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ignorant classes are the dangerous classes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8848]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ignorant classes are the dangerous classes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Before the officers were sworn to their new ranks, several residents spoke publicly at the meeting about the promotions.] I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31149]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Before the officers were sworn to their new ranks, several residents spoke publicly at the meeting about the promotions.] I stand here to say thank you, ...

He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What an enormous magnifier is tradition!
