In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was speech in their dumbness, language in their very gesture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24016]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was speech in their dumbness, language in their very gesture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9039]]></link><description><![CDATA[The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Buddhism we have relative truth and absolute truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4958]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Buddhism we have relative truth and absolute truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139]]></link><description><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. -The Merchant of Venice.

It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work hard.
