But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's never over till it's over ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13796]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's never over till it's over]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old Abram Brown is dead and gone,-- You'll never see him more;  He used to wear a long brown ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old Abram Brown is dead and gone,-- You'll never see him more;  He used to wear a long brown coat   That buttoned down before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space is the breath of art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Space is the breath of art.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ We want you to know that we recognize your hard work and compassion on behalf of the children and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34692]]></link><description><![CDATA[ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦ We want you to know that we recognize your hard work and compassion on behalf of the children and the families you have affected.
