Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By this verdict, the jury has found that death is a possible sentence in this case. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34162]]></link><description><![CDATA[By this verdict, the jury has found that death is a possible sentence in this case.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief,  The doves of Noah ne'er had roost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief,  The doves of Noah ne'er had roost   Nor found an olive-leaf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By my penny of observation. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
