The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hostess, clap to the doors.

Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who sounds his own trumpet will soon find plenty to laugh at him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51612]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who sounds his own trumpet will soon find plenty to laugh at him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3603</guid></item></channel></rss>
