Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unexamined life is not worth living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1466]]></link><description><![CDATA[The unexamined life is not worth living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is the continuous adjustment of internal relations to external relations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is the continuous adjustment of internal relations to external relations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In simplest terms, a leader is one who knows where he wants to go, and gets up, and goes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5099]]></link><description><![CDATA[In simplest terms, a leader is one who knows where he wants to go, and gets up, and goes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The extremes of glory and of shame, Like east and west, become the same No Indian prince has to his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14780]]></link><description><![CDATA[The extremes of glory and of shame, Like east and west, become the same No Indian prince has to his palace - More followers than a thief to the gallows]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though old and wise, yet still advise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though old and wise, yet still advise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58827]]></link><description><![CDATA[The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lovers of romance can go elsewhere for satisfaction but where can the lovers of truth turn if not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39553]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lovers of romance can go elsewhere for satisfaction but where can the lovers of truth turn if not to history?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we know is not much;

It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of; they just turn up some of the ill weeds on to the surface.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success requires first expending ten units of effort to produce oneunit of results.
