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[We do have maps in the lobby of the Des Moines Police Department that's open 24 hours a day, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30210]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do have maps in the lobby of the Des Moines Police Department that's open 24 hours a day, but they will see there's very limited space.
