First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man listens to the voice of the tempter within him, he is inclined to do as others do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7817]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man listens to the voice of the tempter within him, he is inclined to do as others do, not to resist when temptation seems great.

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[Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect-- But tell me the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe witha person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe witha person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouringall right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that afaithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keepingand, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without being good at them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without being good at them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idea is the only level which moves the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9405]]></link><description><![CDATA[An idea is the only level which moves the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essay is about connection to his homeland.
