It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the way the market works, but this is an unusual year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30661]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the way the market works, but this is an unusual year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're down 1-0 in a mini playoff series.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains supreme bliss.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every legislator knows where their political strengths are, where the greatest number of votes comes from, and with the ability ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40079]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every legislator knows where their political strengths are, where the greatest number of votes comes from, and with the ability to draw the maps themselves they can carve out districts that are very precisely drawn to favor their future political interests.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jest not with the two-edged sword of God's word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jest not with the two-edged sword of God's word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Innocents    The most thrilling thing you can ever do is win someone to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Innocents    The most thrilling thing you can ever do is win someone to Christ.

If he does accept the latter, then the results of his research will in all probability contradict the beliefs of the Church, but this is because he has begged the question from the start. In examining, for instance, the evidence for the virginal conception [of Jesus], if he begins with the presupposition that such an event is impossible he will end with the same conclusion; if he begins with the presupposition that it is possible he may end with the conclusion that the evidence for it is good or that it is bad or that it is inconclusive. This is as far as scholarship can take him. The Christian will accept the virginal conception as part of the Church's faith.
