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[Think nought a trifle, though it small appear; Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,  And trifles life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think nought a trifle, though it small appear; Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,  And trifles life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The restrictions are a big factor.

Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, before I commit a sin, it seems to me so shallow that I may wade through it dry-shod from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord, before I commit a sin, it seems to me so shallow that I may wade through it dry-shod from any guiltiness; but when I have committed it, it often seems so deep that I cannot escape without drowning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope that these kids are given an opportunity to play, because whatever happened before, they had nothing to do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36253]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope that these kids are given an opportunity to play, because whatever happened before, they had nothing to do with it.
