There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a very nice wide receiver to have in our program, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40420]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's a very nice wide receiver to have in our program,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything relatively close to that is going to be a huge threat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything relatively close to that is going to be a huge threat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30660</guid></item></channel></rss>
