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[Being alone will never cause as much loneliness as the wrong relationship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being alone will never cause as much loneliness as the wrong relationship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't see major corporations abandoning their e-mail infrastructure, but they are beginning to seek outsourcing to handle things like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34610]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't see major corporations abandoning their e-mail infrastructure, but they are beginning to seek outsourcing to handle things like remote mail and calendaring, ...

In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26450]]></link><description><![CDATA[One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mathematics seems to endow one with something like a new sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mathematics seems to endow one with something like a new sense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gospel is not presented to mankind as an argument about religious principles.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May your glass be ever full May the roof over your head be always strong,  And may you be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59402]]></link><description><![CDATA[May your glass be ever full May the roof over your head be always strong,  And may you be in heaven   Half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are so many kids.
