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[O what a loud and fearful shriek was there! . . .  Ah me! they view'd beneath an hireling's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16673]]></link><description><![CDATA[O what a loud and fearful shriek was there! . . .  Ah me! they view'd beneath an hireling's sword   Fallen Kosciusco.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53257]]></link><description><![CDATA[You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our time frame with this is on Nov. 15, we need to submit a plan on how to consolidate 26 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our time frame with this is on Nov. 15, we need to submit a plan on how to consolidate 26 county offices to Washington.
