It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surfing is not an organized sport, but it does have rules.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. {5} It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. {6} Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. {7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. {8} Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. {9} For we know in part and we prophesy in part, {10} but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. {11} When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. {12} Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. {13} And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Terms ill defined, and forms misunderstood, And customs, when their reasons are unknown,  Have stirred up many zealous souls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Terms ill defined, and forms misunderstood, And customs, when their reasons are unknown,  Have stirred up many zealous souls   To fight against imaginary giants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would not listen to those who were wont to say the voice of the people is the voice of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52450]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would not listen to those who were wont to say the voice of the people is the voice of God, for the voice of the mob is near akin to madness. [Lat., Nec audiendi sunt qui solent dicere vox populi, vox dei; cum tumultus vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If errors must be tolerated, say some, then men may do what they please, without control.

If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every crowd has a silver lining. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every crowd has a silver lining.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding.
