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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23540]]></link><description><![CDATA[We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24423]]></link><description><![CDATA[The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was our extra scorer a lot.
