The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Budgets are for cutting, that's why you set them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Budgets are for cutting, that's why you set them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could have better spared a better man. -King Henry IV.
