A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morality is the theory that every h uman act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morality is the theory that every h uman act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it isregret for the things we did not do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it isregret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words, words, words!
