There are siren voices (as well as gut reactions) telling Christians that the way to success in evangelism is to follow the natural divisions, and to try to build churches along cultural, social and racial divisions. In doing so, they ignore the "success" in the New Testament in crossing these lines; more importantly, they are in fact stressing success more highly than the truth of the gospel. To buy success at the price of treating the fundamental nature of the gospel as dispensable is to follow a false gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges; whether we seize them or not, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges; whether we seize them or not, the New Year will bring new opportunities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the Sabbath bell, That over wood and wild and mountain dell  Wanders so far, chasing all thoughts unholy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4125]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the Sabbath bell, That over wood and wild and mountain dell  Wanders so far, chasing all thoughts unholy   With sounds most musical, most melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every human heart is human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every human heart is human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Study to be quiet, and to do your own business.

It is the prolonged sacrifice of the rights of some persons at the bidding and for the satisfaction of other persons.

An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality isn't something that can be argued into an article or promised into it.

But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. -- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15247]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. -- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My prime aim is to go to see the permanent member who has not been briefed properly.
