The distinction is of tremendous importance. The phrase "Word of God" as used in the Bible itself, notably in the opening sentences of the Fourth Gospel, is an English translation of a Greek word, Logos, which was in wide use among philosophers at the time the New Testament was written. It connotes the creative, outgoing, self-revealing activity of God. The Logos was not a particular divine utterance, but God's overall message to mankind. It was not necessarily communicated verbally in speech or writing. Indeed, the whole point of Christianity is that the supreme communication of the Word took place when it was expressed through a human life and personality in Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605   I am verily persuaded that the Lord has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605   I am verily persuaded that the Lord has more Truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word. For my part, I cannot sufficiently bewail the Condition of the Reformed Churches, who are come to a Period in Religion and will go at present no farther than the instruments of their Reformation. The Lutheran can't be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw; and the Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things... I beseech you, remember, 'tis an Article of your Church Covenant, that you be ready to receive whatever Truth shall be made known to you from the written Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a society in the deepest solitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57176]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a society in the deepest solitude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46453]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures earlyin life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22694]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures earlyin life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to good conduct is never too late. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51198]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to good conduct is never too late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While modern technology has given people powerful new communication tools, it apparently can do nothing to alter the fact that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56819]]></link><description><![CDATA[While modern technology has given people powerful new communication tools, it apparently can do nothing to alter the fact that many people have nothing useful to say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take care what you say before a wall, as you cannot tell who may be behind it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take care what you say before a wall, as you cannot tell who may be behind it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something;
