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[Make all fair allowance for the mistakes of youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make all fair allowance for the mistakes of youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a great honor that the other coaches in this league have voted me as the Coach of the Year, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39672]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a great honor that the other coaches in this league have voted me as the Coach of the Year, but in all reality it would have never happened without the season-long effort of each member on our team and our assistant coaches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss.

What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification; and as without this, without holiness, no man shall see God, though he pore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification; and as without this, without holiness, no man shall see God, though he pore whole nights upon his Bible; so without that, without humility, no man shall hear God speak to his soul, though he hear three two-hour sermons every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Efficiency is doing better what is already being done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labor is man's greatest function.
