But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, he's a limb that has but a disease: Mortal, to cut it off; to cure it, easy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12496]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, he's a limb that has but a disease: Mortal, to cut it off; to cure it, easy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53412]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge keeps his wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a late supper one evening with Frank and Treat Williams...

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore a victorious army first wins and then seeks battle; a defeated army first battles and then seeks victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore a victorious army first wins and then seeks battle; a defeated army first battles and then seeks victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gambling undermines the moral fiber of society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gambling undermines the moral fiber of society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask not the name of him who asks you for a bed.
